You've Never Met Jel | Your Poppy Shows You Care

Jel was in the Army for five years serving in the UK, Germany, Cyprus and Canada.

But when he left the Armed Forces he struggled to find a job he enjoyed and missed the comradeship of fellow soldiers. Then in 2008 his relationship broke down and he found himself without a place to live.

"I was sofa surfing, so you could say I was a homeless as I didn't have my own property or somewhere to live."

With support from RBL, Jel was able to get the qualifications he needed to become a fitness trainer, and he now runs bootcamp classes across North London.

You've never met Jel, but he willingly faced danger to protect the freedoms we enjoy today.

And wearing your poppy shows that you recognise the challenges veterans like Jel face as a result of their service, and helps us continue our vital work.
