'Once We Were Soldiers'

Desperation, destitution and poor mental health.

Three very personal reasons why an army veteran from Barlestone in Leicestershire swung into action to help other ex-soldiers with similar struggles.

Andy Spiers started a charity from his kitchen table to help veterans who've fallen on hard times. Today, three years after it started, Andy's charity, 'Once We Were Soldiers', is moving into it's first official headquarters in Coalville.

Helen McCarthy went to meet him.
