Forces Employment Charity
The Forces
Employment Charity was formed from two of the UK’s largest and most respected
military charities; RFEA – The Forces Employment Charity (RFEA) and Officers’
Association (OA).
Founded in
1885 and 1920 respectively, they came together in May 2022 to begin an exciting
new chapter for ex-Forces employment support. Their mission is to enable
individuals to secure employment and progress to roles at every level, to
ensure they achieve their potential beyond military service.

more visit the Forces
Employment Charity website.
Lived experience of non-UK veterans research project
Are you a
former member of the UK Armed Forces with non-UK nationality?
RAND Europe
is conducting research funded by the UK Office for Veterans' Affairs (OVA) to
improve understanding of what it's like to be a non-UK veteran (ie. a UK
ex-service person who did not have UK nationality when they joined the Armed
Forces).
The research
focuses on exploring the day-to-day experiences of military service,
military-to-civilian transition and post-service life, as well as helping to
improve policy and support for non-UK veterans.
If you are
interested in taking part in a research interview, register online at https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/
Further information about the project can be found at https://www.rand.org/randeurope/research/projects/understanding-the-lived-experience-of-non-uk-veterans.html
