00:00Jeff Fowler, Founder and CEO of Veterans and Crisis. Thank you for speaking to the
00:06Sunderland Network. Tell me what this means to you please, the freedom of the city.
00:09To be given this award it just means the world to us. I love Sunderland, I love
00:14everything about Sunderland and I couldn't get any higher award than this
00:18so I'm absolutely over the moon. And you couldn't have done it alone though? No, no
00:23if anything I want to thank the people of Sunderland because VIX only works
00:27because of the people of Sunderland. From the leader of the council all the way to the man in
00:31the street, everyone's put their part in so I thank everyone. And did you ever
00:38think it would go this far when you set it up? I thought it would be
00:41successful but I didn't think you got awards to be honest and now we've got
00:45in the six years we've getting over 30 awards and now I'm getting this so to be
00:49honest that's astonishing. Jeff Fowler, Freeman of the City, thank you very much.
