in the #Veteran space those implementing Armed Forces Covenant initiatives often don’t fully understand the veterans charity sector.
Without that insight, decisions are made that miss the mark—leading to flawed conclusions about how veterans actually access and receive support
ExFor CIC has been delivering forward-thinking, real-world veteran support for years—long before it became a policy priority.
While initiatives like Op VALOUR are a step in the right direction, they still don’t fully address the gaps or the real needs of the veteran community
One of my biggest frustrations in the #Veteran space is hearing: “we’re doing this because the Armed Forces Covenant says veterans shouldn’t be disadvantaged.” It often feels like ticking a policy box rather than a genuine desire to help.
@SkyNews this happens to too many women, my wife was not listened to and we had an horrific experience, at the most vulnerable time for a woman and a father not knowing what’s going to happen you expect the care providers to listen, do their job. news.sky.com/story/three-wom…
I’ve recently been made aware of this important survey in relation to lariam and mefloquine by @Dave1RO if you’ve served and taken the medication mentioned please do help those trying to get an understanding of the scale by completing this short survey. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…
Absolutely ashamed to be a veteran in the uk .
MPs come out twice a year - armed forces week and Remembrance Day .
Thousands of veterans still on the streets and numbers rising .
This guy has been failed .

Why is there a blanket media cover up of the decades of miss treatment of veterans directly and their claims for injuries in service by @VeteransUK_MOD staff ?
Suicides now being re investigated from the 1980s and this is far bigger than the post office scandal. MPs MIA !
Any journalists interested in a few veterans stories from all over the uk about the horrors and decades of direct miss treatment by the staff within @VeteransUK_MOD .
This goes back more than 40 years and caused hundreds of veterans suicides !!!
news.sky.com/story/gillian-a… I have said this in the veterans space and on the national domestic space also, why does it take a Hollywood actress to highlight this? @SkyNews
I had an interesting call this afternoon, there has been some positive changes for veterans in custody over the years, however the government and charities are still struggling to provide appropriate services cohesively on a national basis, why? Money, charity exceptions and more
I always agree with supporting the veteran, however @DWPgovuk have got it massively wrong. Their business engagement and reach-out method has a lot to be desired especially for the confidentiality of veterans their information and history. DWP is not a veteran support service.
#Veterans during Covid19 I set up and ran a few online meetings that included veterans and senior individuals in the veteran space at the time. I’m wanting to do this again but on a physical basis, no egos, no self promotion just the want to work together for the veteran.
So if an event happened where is the best place for all to take place? I live in Dorset but would say a London Venue, we could look at multiple locations if there is a want to get behind positive change for the veterans community. 👍🏻
