Our cause

The Forces Employment Charity was formed from two of the UK’s largest and most respected military charities; RFEA – The Forces Employment Charity and the Officers’ Association. Founded in 1885 and 1920 respectively, we have the experience and specialist knowledge to bridge the gap between military life and civilian employment.

We provide life-long, life changing support, jobs and training opportunities to veterans, irrespective of circumstances, rank, length of service, or reason for leaving.

The Forces Employment Charity is made up of many veterans and Service family members across the UK. When you speak to us, you are talking to people who can relate to you and both empathise and empower.

With a stunning track record, the Forces Employment Charity is uniquely positioned to offer long standing expertise with a modern approach to recruitment. We also work with families, veterans in the criminal justice system, and wounded, injured and sick Service leavers and more through an unrivalled range of programmes and practical tools specific to individual needs and circumstances.
