The Stoll Foundation, which is the leading provider of supported housing to
vulnerable veterans, was delighted to welcome Minister of Veterans and People
Louise Sandher-Jones to officially open Valour House.
On the 30 October, Louise Sandher-Jones MP visited the King’s Road Park development in
Fulham to open one of two buildings acquired last year by The Stoll Foundation, which will
provide a combined 128 new homes for vulnerable veterans and military family members.
The minister was joined by veterans, trustees and staff from the Stoll Foundation, members of
the Greater London Authority, officials from Hammersmith & Fulham Council and St William
(part of the Berkeley Group) who are responsible for building the King’s Road Park
neighbourhood.
The site represents the biggest investment in social rent housing for veterans of the UK Armed
Forces in decades and will include new community facilities alongside the 128 apartments,
including meeting spaces, therapy spaces, a disabled adapted gym, and new offices for The
Stoll Foundation’s front line staff.
Will Campbell-Wroe, Chief Executive for the Stoll Foundation, said: “We were delighted to
have the minister officially open Valour House, which will provide accommodation for veterans
and their families for years to come. As the only specialist veteran housing provider that is
registered with the Regulator of Social Housing, we are proud to provide these high-quality
homes at social rent in conjunction with the GLA and Berkeley Group.”
Minister of Veterans and People, Louise Sandher-Jones, said: “Every veteran deserves a safe,
secure place to call home. That’s not just a moral obligation – it’s a promise this Government is
determined to keep. Today marks another significant step towards delivering the Prime
Minister’s pledge to provide homes fit for our heroes across the United Kingdom.
“We’re delivering real change through the Veterans Capital Housing Fund and it was fantastic to
see first-hand how these homes are providing veterans and their families with the security and
support they need. ”
Dean Summers, Divisional Managing Director of St James & St William, said: “We were
honoured to join Veterans Minister Louise Sandher-Jones MP for the official opening of Valour
House. It was also a huge pleasure to meet the veterans who have now made King’s Road Park
their home and I want to thank all our partners for supporting this project, including The Stoll
Foundation, Hammersmith & Fulham Borough Council and the GLA.
