Forces in Mind Trust

Research, Transition

Request for expressions of interest

Forces in Mind Trust (FiMT) has issued a request for expressions of interest (REOI) to conduct research to understand the transition to civilian life for ex-Service personnel with physical conditions as a direct result of Service or acquired whilst in Service.

The FiMT award is expected to be in the region of £150,000. Although there is no specific completion date, the Trust would like to see the report completed and published within two years of commencement.

The commission was the result of a consultation exercise with stakeholders where it was apparent that those Service personnel who leave the Services on medical grounds and with physical conditions can face particular challenges and may be more likely to experience difficulty when transitioning to civilian life.

Top Ten Tips for Developing an Internal Military Network

An internal military network is a great way to maximise the benefits that veterans can bring to your organisation.

If you are thinking about developing your own internal military network, here is what you need to consider.

1, Have a network with clear purpose and vision aligned to your organisation’s brand/vision and ensure activity is linked back to this.
2, Have an individual or group with the commitment/motivation to make the network succeed and share the work load.
3, No need to reinvent the wheel – learn and leverage from other schemes/activities already being run in the business and what other business and sectors have already implemented.
