Career Transition Partnership

www.ctp.org.uk

The Career Transition Partnership (CTP) is the name given to a partnering agreement between the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and Right Management, who are global career development and outplacement specialists. This simply means the MoD contract us to provide eligible Service leavers with career transition services as part of their resettlement process. This is because the MoD recognises that making the transition from the Armed Forces into civilian life can be daunting. Some Service leavers will have joined the Forces straight from school and will never have applied for employment anywhere else.

The Officers Association

www.officersassociation.org.uk

The Officers Association will help anyone who holds (or has ever held) a commission in the British Armed Forces to find employment. In order to do this it provides a service to Employers(at no cost) which not only offers them the best possible access to officers in the process of leaving the Services, but to ex-officers (many with significant commercial experience) looking for employment as well.

Skill Force

www.skillforce.org

Instruction & mentoring is provided mainly by ex-armed forces personnel, who develop a close working relationship with their students and help to instill a culture of respect and mutual support. Skill Force programmes produce positive outcomes for students, improved results for schools and real benefits for the communities in which we operate.

The "Not Forgotten" Association

www.nfassociation.org

There are thousands of disabled ex-servicemen and women in this country. They have been injured in conflicts around the globe over many decades. Now most of them are elderly and often frail and although their essential needs may be provided for, The "Not Forgotten" Association is able to give them some of the "extras" which most of us take for granted, something to look forward to – something to make life worth living. Those eligible are ex-service or serving men and women who have a War Pension or are in receipt of compensation from the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme or who are currently suffering from some form of ill-health.

Afghan Heroes

www.afghanheroes.org.uk/

Afghan Heroes has been launched by a group of mothers with the aim of helping our service personnel directly on the front line; the families of those who have fallen and our returning service personnel who have witnessed these horrific losses of their fellow comrades.

Afghan Heroes is independent of other charities. It deals specifically with members of the British forces and their families that have been affected by the military operations in Afghanistan now and into the future. The intention is to operate until a minimum of five-years from the cessation of our military presence in Afghanistan.

Toe in the Water

www.toeinthewater.org

The tri-service initiative TOE IN THE WATER (TITW) aims to inspire the men and women who have sustained often traumatic injuries, including the loss of limbs, to move beyond their disability and to become re-inspired by life. Competitive sailing is a physically and mentally challenging adventurous sport and provides a unique opportunity for injured men and women to sail and race on equal terms with their able-bodied contemporaries.

Forces Pension Society

We exist to ensure that serving and retired members of the Armed Forces, their widows, widowers, surviving partners, civil partners and dependants receive the pension to which they are entitled and which they deserve.
