The Female Veterans’ Transformation Programme will produce a toolkit for use by service providers in the commercial, statutory and charitable sectors, helping transform service provision for female veterans - the 250,000 strong group whose specific needs are not being addressed by current service provision. The toolkit could take the form of a digital resource, awareness-raising resources, or an interactive app.

The 3-year, UK-wide programme is funded by the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust and NHS England, in partnership with the Cobseo Female Veterans Cluster and the Women’s Royal Army Corps Association.

The Centre for Military Women’s Research (CMWR)

In June 2021 Anglia Ruskin University’s Veterans and Families Institute for Military Social Research (VFI) published the nationally recognised ‘We Also Served’ Report, bringing together everything that was known in the UK about the health and well-being of women veterans. This report identified numerous gaps in our understanding of women’s experiences in the military community and the impact of these experiences on their civilian lives.

Subsequently, the Centre for Military Women’s Research (CMWR)’s was launched by the VFI, with a core mission to inform and improve the wellbeing of women in the military and veteran community through world-leading collaborative research and evaluation. By embedding principles of co-production with members of the military community, and collaboration with partners and stakeholders (academic, charity, third sector, policymakers) into all research projects, the centre undertakes high quality research to deepen understanding and improve provision for women in the military and veteran community.

The new Forces in Mind Trust Research Centre is operated by a consortium of leading UK military research organisations under a grant agreement which will run for five years from 2022-2027.

The Research Centre curates a free and accessible evidence base of research into ex-Service personnel and their families. It provides an accessible and authoritative evidence base exploring transition from military to civilian life, that will inform policy and practice affecting ex-Service personnel and their families in the UK. The new website, under development, will build on existing strong foundations to develop an internationally renowned centre of research excellence, coordinating and curating high-quality, influential research.

Established within the Cabinet Office, the OVA collaborates with various government departments and external organisations, including charities, to provide holistic, nationwide support. Its mission is to ensure that the UK is the best place globally for veterans to live, integrating lifelong services designed to honor veterans' contributions and address any challenges they face during their transition to civilian life.

The V Word is a diverse group of women veterans from every branch, trade and rank of the UK military. They are committed to advocating for their members and inspiring them to achieve their goals through support and education. They strive to foster an inclusive, safe and welcoming environment where members can network, support one another, and share valuable advice and experiences.

The FVA is a national non-profit organisation that aims to empower and support females who have served in the UK Armed forces. It works to provide advocacy, resources, and a supportive community for female veterans..
