Our priority project, the Centenary Village, is progressing fantastically. Thanks to your continued efforts, we have now raised £19m of the £22m target to provide homes and facilities for many more veterans. With new assisted living and family housing set for completion in June, we are well on the way but we are still in need of your help to raise funds so we can build the community centre and further accommodation.

The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee will take place in 2022 and we will mark the occasion with a number of exciting initiatives, as we will when we commemorate the 40th anniversary of the liberation of the Falkland Islands.

Lots to look ahead to next year and we look forward to seeing you all then but, in the meantime, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Every veteran’s story is unique and the struggles many of them face can make it very difficult to find employment outside of the Armed Forces. Our dedicated Lifeworks team work solidly to make this transition that bit easier for veterans like Jeff.

Jeff struggled to re-adjust to life outside of the Armed forces and, after leaving the Army in 2003, alcohol started to impact dramatically on his life leading to him losing his driving license, his job and struggling to maintain personal relationships.

Completing the Lifeworks course helped Jeff gain the skills and confidence he needed to get back into work and he quickly found a job where he is doing fantastically to get his life back on track.
