Veterans: Have Your Say on Digital Needs
Research and data are vital in shaping how funding is directed to meet community needs across the UK. The veterans’ community is no different, when needs are identified and backed by evidence, resources can be allocated to make a real difference.
That’s why we’ve been asked by King’s College London to help circulate their Veterans’ Digital Needs Study.
If you are a former member of the UK Armed Forces (aged 18+ and residing in the UK), we invite you to take part.
If you are a carer or family member supporting a veteran, you can also complete the survey on their behalf.
The online questionnaire takes just 10–15 minutes to complete and covers:
• Military service background
• General health and wellbeing
• Digital technology use
• Any challenges faced with digital access
All responses are anonymous, and your data will be stored securely for research purposes only.
You can take part via the QR code or by clicking this link: https://qualtrics.kcl.ac.uk/jfe/form/SV_5w3138xWRgZRzeu...
Your voice matters. By sharing your experiences, you can help ensure that the right resources and support reach the veteran community where they’re needed most.

The Tank Museum is letting 3,000 square meters of its grounds grow wild to support native pollinators, including bees and butterflies.
Young carers from local primary school Bovington Academy visited the Museum to find out more about rewilding and helped to plant some of the 64 million seeds provided by Wild Britain. These children are part of the school’s “Dandelion” military children’s club.
The wildflowers are expected to be in bloom for the Museum’s Tiger Day Spring event on 18 April 2026, tickets are on sale now: https://tankmuseum.org/events/tiger-day-spring

Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust: Six projects with one goal - to tackle domestic abuse in forces communities
Plus, a reminder of why the Free from Fear programme is so needed…
“In Defence, we are in a particularly vulnerable position to be abused by partners. Whether you are the serving half of the relationship or not, or if you both are, isolation from our support network due to posting and moving around is commonplace among our community. We experience different sets of challenges as part and parcel of military life.” – MOD victim-survivor
The Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust (the Trust) has funded another six projects under their Free from Fear programme, worth a total of more than three quarters of a million pounds, to further strengthen much-needed support to victim-survivors of domestic abuse in armed forces communities.
The military context
Those facing domestic abuse in armed forces communities often face additional challenges such as:
- economic dependence on the serving person
- isolation from wider family support due to posting locations
- non-UK partners of armed forces personnel being dependent on their partner for their immigration status
- perceptions around rank when raising concerns, or a worry that chain of command won’t support the victim-survivor.
The Free from Fear programme prioritises understanding of the military context, ensuring any additional challenges are considered.
What’s been funded?
The awards encompass many forms of support, including culturally sensitive support for Nepalese families of serving personnel; work to strengthen the local authority response to domestic abuse in serving communities; an online programme for armed forces men who’ve experienced abuse and even holistic work for perpetrators to change their behaviour.
Lancashire: Are you a spouse or partner of a serving reservist or regular armed forces personnel living in Lancashire?
Has your career, life, or future ambitions been impacted by military life?
Please join us for an online meeting on 20th October 2025 at 7pm where we can hear more about your experiences and discuss what opportunities might benefit you. Whilst you may not wear the uniform or be awarded the medals, this project is about recognising the contributions of military spouses and partners.
Join us for a virtual gathering where you can connect with others who understand the unique challenges you face. This event is designed to provide a safe space for sharing experiences, offering support, and building a supportive community. We've been awarded funding by the armed forces covenant trust to find out what the barriers are for spouses and partners as a result of a family connection to the military. Led by military spouses at the College for Military Veterans and Emergency Services (The University of Lancashire), this project aims to develop meaningful careers, education and development opportunities to support spouses and partners reach their current aspirations. We are working in partnership with the Further Education Colleges in Lancashire and Preston North End to look at what activities spouses and partners may benefit from. This could be a change of career, taking up studies, qualifications, or well-being events that give you an hour to yourself.
