Cornwall-based Veterans Regroup CIC named finalist in prestigious national Armed Forces Community Awards at Soldiering On Awards

Veterans Regroup CIC has been named a finalist in the prestigious national Soldiering On Awards 2026, recognising its work supporting veterans and the wider Armed Forces Community across Cornwall.

The Cornwall-based Community Interest Company has been shortlisted for the Working Together Award, which recognises outstanding collaboration and partnership working in support of the Armed Forces Community.

The winners will be announced at the Armed Forces Community Awards at Soldiering On Awards Night in London on Thursday 17 September 2026, bringing together individuals and organisations from across the UK Armed Forces Community.

At the heart of Veterans Regroup’s work is its growing network of multi-agency Armed Forces Hubs across Cornwall, currently delivered in Helston, Liskeard, Penryn, Newquay,  Launceston, Redruth and Penzance, with a new hub launching in Torpoint in September and in Truro later this year.

The hubs bring together military charities and CICs, local authorities, NHS and health services, and military establishments within local communities, providing welcoming and accessible places for members of the Armed Forces Community to access advice, support, guidance and advocacy across a wide range of needs. Support includes transitioning from military to civilian life, health and wellbeing, dental care, housing, employment and financial matters, with direct access and referrals to specialist services where needed.

The hubs operate a ‘No Wrong Door’ approach, helping to ensure members of the Armed Forces Community can access the right advice and support without being passed unnecessarily between services or falling through gaps in provision.

Alongside its Armed Forces Hubs, Veterans Regroup provides welfare support, outreach and a wide range of wellbeing events and activities. These provide opportunities for veterans to connect with others, reduce social isolation, improve wellbeing, build confidence and enjoy camaraderie in relaxed and supportive environments.

Jane Jiwa, Founder and Managing Director of Veterans Regroup CIC, said:

“Being named a finalist in the national Soldiering On Awards is an incredible honour for our whole team. The Working Together Award is particularly meaningful to us because collaboration is at the heart of everything we do.

“This recognition belongs not only to our team, but also to our volunteers and all the organisations that support our Armed Forces Hubs and work alongside us. We are incredibly proud to represent Cornwall and its Armed Forces Community at the awards in London.”

The winners of the 2026 Armed Forces Community Awards at Soldiering On will be announced at the Awards Night at Park Plaza Westminster Bridge, London, on Thursday 17 September 2026.
