Individuals are trying to raise £110,000 to build a bakery near Leeds for armed forces veterans.<\/p>\n
Marco Pierre White has backed the scheme, which is seeking to help ex-servicemen and women learn new skills and gain qualifications, the Yorkshire Post reports. <\/p>\n
Once the money has been collected the project will be developed at the Beacon at Catterick, a centre that helps former military personnel struggling with combat stress.<\/p>\n
Pierre White – who has hosted Hell's Kitchen and gained three Michelin stars by the age of 33 – was full of enthusiasm for the initiative.<\/p>\n
"I strongly believe we all have a duty to support our soldiers and that duty of care shouldn't stop on their return home," he added.<\/p>\n
Out of the 17,000 who leave the armed forces every year, some 8,000 are expected to develop mental health problems.<\/p>\n
The Beacon caters for members of the Army, Royal Navy and Royal Air Force.<\/p>\n
