Karl Hinett – Upon hearing that I’d won a Soldering On Through Life Trust Sporting Award, I was stunned. I had followed the events of SOTLT the previous year and had understood how prestigious the Award was and how special the ceremony was. To be included in this charity organisation, who support the military and their families, was a great honour.

I attended the awards evening with my fiancé, and to this day we still speak highly and fondly of the amazing time we had. The appreciation Soldering On gives to the military family, is something I found will stay with me for the rest of my life.
