We call on the Government to fund and support veteran-led organisations delivering training and employment for veterans who have fallen outside transition support, enabling them to move into sustainable work and reducing long-term reliance on welfare and crisis services across the UK.

We believe many veterans miss or fall outside existing transition support and later face unemployment or instability. In our view, veteran-led organisations provide structured training and direct employment pathways but struggle to access funding due to rigid commissioning systems. Increased government funding could allow these programmes to expand nationally, helping veterans into long-term work while reducing reliance on welfare, housing and crisis services.

Government response

Veterans play a vital role in society. A full range of support is already in place to help them make use of their unique skills and experience to find fulfilling, sustainable careers after service.
