Forces in Mind Trust publishes its 2019 Impact Report

Forces in Mind Trust officially unveils its new website today.

The Government has released a new report, Living in our Shoes, which reviews the needs of UK Armed Forces families.

In a joint statement by OVA and MOD issued today, Government announced new funding support for military charities, alongside the forthcoming launch of a consultation on tax relief for employers who employ veterans, and enhanced support for veterans.

If you want to make a difference to the civilian lives of former serving members of the Armed Forces Community, this is a great opportunity to bring your skills, knowledge and expertise to help us deliver our mission.

Forces in Mind Trust (FiMT) has appointed Future Agenda to conduct a research project on future trends and their impact on the Armed Forces Community.

A new grant has been made available to the Invictus Games Foundation to continue research into the impact of participation in sport for recovery.

Results of a study into the effectiveness of a new treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) show that it can be effective for ex-Service personnel with treatment-resistant PTSD.

Following a study on CPTSD which found that CPTSD is a more prevalent condition within help-seeking ex-Service personnel than PTSD, FiMT has awarded a new grant to conduct a pilot study of a new treatment especially developed for CPTSD in ex-Service personnel.

I welcome today’s announcement from the Government for funding Armed Forces charities. Both serving and ex-Service personnel have played, and continue to play, a critical role in reacting to the Covid-19 crisis, delivering services on the frontline and supporting some of the most vulnerable people in the community
