When Ian left the Army after 20 years, he found civilian life challenging. Support through our Navigator service helped him create the Tranmere Rovers Armed Forces Community support group at his beloved football club – enabling other ex-Forces fans to make new connections and find the help they need.

We recently had the privilege of filming Sam, a veteran who served in the Army for 19 years before building a new career in barbering.

With support from Army Benevolent Fund, the Royal Logistics Corps and our Employment Consultant, Andrew Pickersgill, Sam has been able to take positive steps forward and find a path that works for her beyond military life.

It was fantastic to capture Sam’s story on video — a powerful reminder of the journeys veterans take after service, and the difference the right support can make in helping people move towards a brighter future.
