Today, our UK employability service helps hundreds of veterans throughout England and Wales on their journey into meaningful employment across a wide range of sectors.

In 2020 their main office is based within the historic factory in Petersham Road, Richmond. At the start of the year they began a major redevelopment to provide an inclusive, modern, safe and effective working environment for all our staff,volunteers and visitors.
