Forces Employment Charity awarded £25,000 to support young people from military families

The Forces Employment Charity has been awarded £25,000 by the Armed Forces Education Trust to expand support for young people from military families across the UK.

Press release:
Forces Employment Charity awarded £25,000 to support young people from military families

The Forces Employment Charity has been awarded £25,000 by the Armed Forces Education Trust to expand its dedicated employment support for young people from military families in the UK.

Last year, with the help of an initial grant from the Trust, the Forces Employment Charity was able to help 756 Service children and young people, aged 16-24, by delivering life skills, education, training, and employment support.

Children and young people growing up in Armed Forces households can face unique challenges, such as frequent relocation, separation from parents, disrupted education, and lower participation in higher education compared to their civilian peers.

The additional funding from the Trust will enable the Forces Employment Charity to provide tailored one-to-one mentoring, employability workshops, access to work experience placements, and guidance with education and career pathways. Advisors, many of whom are military spouses, bring lived experience and a deep understanding of the pressures that Service life can place on young people.
