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.

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/
