Today, on #WorldFriendshipDay, we highlight the importance of the camaraderie and friendships formed between the #ChelseaPensioners. Laughter also reduces stress levels and eases anxiety, so we're always pleased to see so much happiness throughout the Royal Hospital community. pic.twitter.com/L7YH24vu4n

Happy #InternationalDayOfFriendship! We all know true friends don’t always have two legs!

The importance of utilising people for their skills is paramount. My #Veteran has battled his demons stepping up to the plate and taking each challenge on.

It's important that businesses recognise the skills of those who leave the military and use it ! pic.twitter.com/SH8ggv1YmT
