Over £1m Awarded To Help Veterans Succeed On Civvy Street

More than a million pounds has been given to a charity which helps support veterans making the move to civilian life. 
 
The lottery funding was awarded to the Warrior Programme, whose 'Reconnect' scheme trains and educates service leavers and their families. 
 
Forces TV's Julie Knox has been to meet a graduate of the scheme, former sailor Steve Grayson, who was given the confidence to start up a fledgling business.

She asked him about Steve's success, and how typical it is for participants.
