A conversation with Cass and Dean 📹
"Basic Training for Going Back to Civvy Street"

If only discussions around transitioning from the armed forces to civvy life were as clear and informative as basic training in service! That's exactly what we're trying to achieve with Veterans Welfare Group, but with personalised insights from people who have lived experience of the processes.

Whether you're preparing to leave the forces or have already made the move, we have practical insights and reassurance to help guide those who need help around medical downgrading, medical discharge and more.

Stay tuned for more snippets from the behind-the-scenes discussion between Cass and Dean!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "No messing about... arranged my medical assessment to be undertaken within my own home."

This feedback highlights what we strive to give every day: practical help around medical downgrading and discharge that's tailored to the individual - that's service personnel, service leavers and veterans alike.

It's official ⭐ Dean Phillips has been named Role Model of the Year at the 2026 English Veterans Awards 🏆 👏

This award is a fitting recognition of the time, care and commitment he has given to service members, leavers and veterans. Dean has dedicated countless hours to helping others navigate the medical downgrade and discharge process, ensuring that service leavers have reassurance and support beyond their service.

His work is built on genuine care for people and a belief that nobody should have to face challenges alone. We're incredibly proud to see his dedication recognised on such a deserving stage. Congrats, Dean!

Yesterday evening, we had the pleasure of hosting an important networking event with Centurion Chartered Financial Planners in Manchester, bringing together members of the Veteran Welfare Group and the wider community.

The event provided an opportunity to raise awareness of vulnerability among veterans, share knowledge and experiences, and build new connections to better understand how we can all play a role in supporting veterans who may be struggling or vulnerable.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to such a valuable evening. We’d also like to thank St Johns Buildings Barristers' Chambers for providing the space and hospitality, creating the perfect environment for meaningful conversations and networking.

It was fantastic to see so many organisations and individuals coming together with a shared commitment to supporting our veteran community. 🤝

Hear from our ambassador, Cassidy Little, on why our partnerships with organisations such as Forces Transition Group Ltd are so important.

You might be in the process of leaving the Forces, or perhaps you’ve already left. Through FTG, you can access interview practice, CV support, job fairs (online and in person) and much more.

With Veterans Welfare Group, you can speak to us about medical downgrading and medical discharge. These processes can be a minefield and often leave people with lots of questions.

Drawing on our lived experience of these processes, we’re here to help make your journey easier. We can help you understand your potential medical discharge tier, entitlements, the processes involved and what to expect as you navigate your transition🪖

If you have questions or need support, please get in touch:
