Lord Ashcroft KCMG PC published the Veterans’ Transition Review yesterday, his report examined the transition of Armed Forces personnel from their military careers to civilian life at the end of their service.
The independent Review has consulted widely with the Armed Forces, the MOD and other government bodies, industry and the Third Sector, and has heard directly from hundreds of Service Leavers about their experience of transition.
Ian Waller, Acting Chief Executive for Blesma, The Limbless Veterans was invited to the review and welcomed the report.
We think the review represents genuine progress in recognising the real value of ex-servicemen and women in the workplace and encouraging the broader business community to support us.

"It's also very encouraging that the review is looking at consolidating the military charity sector so that we can all work closer with each other to ensure that our Armed Forces are getting the best support and advice from the relevant people."
