Michelle Alston, Chief Executive of Forces in Mind Trust said: “Forces in Mind Trust is proud of the change that we have helped affect since our inception in 2011. This year, we have continued to provide the funding for a solid foundation of evidence for improvements in transition, advanced treatments for ex-Service personnel with moral injury, and helped councils implement the Armed Forces Covenant.
“Working with others has been key to help achieve change, whether with charities, Government, researchers or many others across the Armed Forces community, and we will continue to do so to work towards our goal of a successful and sustainable transition for all ex-Service personnel and families.”
