Employment support also formed a significant part of the charity’s work during the year. The report shows 1,018 veterans were supported through its employment programme, with 363 moving into paid roles. Most job placements were in construction and logistics, and the majority of veterans remained in work beyond both six and 12 months.
Alongside programme data, the report highlights fundraising and community activity throughout the year, including a record-breaking Cumbrian Challenge and locally led events across the UK, which the charity said helped sustain frontline delivery.
The publication also includes beneficiary case studies and reflections from staff, setting out how the organisation aims to continue supporting veterans transitioning into civilian life.
