RFEA celebrates 135 years of helping support veterans and their families into meaningful employment

It’s fair to say the events of 2020 have meant that we at RFEA – The Forces Employment Charity aren’t celebrating our 135th birthday in quite the way we had planned, but that doesn’t mean we’re letting the milestone pass by without ceremony.

As the charity continues to support veterans with their job searches as well as continuing our longstanding projects, such as our Ex-Forces Employment Programme and Project Nova, we’re also marking this special year with the launch of a new Military Women programme and extending our Families Programme for partners and spouses of serving and veteran personnel.

RFEA exists to provide life-long, life-changing support, job opportunities, and training to service leavers, reservists, veterans and their families, irrespective of circumstances, rank, length of service, or reason for leaving. For over 100 years the charity has been using our specialist knowledge and understanding to bridge the gap between military life and civilian employment.

Anyone wanting further information about any RFEA programme, or how the charity can help, can find out more by visiting rfea.org.uk.
