Blind former RAF police corporal urges fellow veterans to access the “tremendous support” of Blind Veterans UK

A blind former RAF police corporal and ex-police inspector from Woodbridge is urging fellow veterans to access the “tremendous support” of a national sight loss charity.

Having worked in the police force for more than 30 years and served in the RAF Police during his National Service, Geoffrey Moss, 79, feared losing his independence along with his sight when he was diagnosed with glaucoma. Fortunately, thanks to support from Blind Veterans UK, Geoffrey has received the training and equipment he needs to continue living life to the full.

Take part in our self-employment research project

The motivations and experiences of ex-Service personnel, Reservists and military spouses in self-employment have been historically under-researched. That’s why Forces in Mind Trust commissioned Warwick Institute for Employment Research at the University of Warwick QinetiQ and X-Forces to undertake an ambitious research project, so we can understand what more can be done to support the Armed Forces Community in their pursuit of self-employment.

Forces in Mind Trust launches the Continue to Work (Transition Mapping Study 2017) report

The Forces in Mind Trust (FiMT), established to help ex-Service men and women, and their families, make a successful transition back to civilian life, today [25th July 2017] launched its Continue to Work report by Kantar Futures, at the Royal Air Force Club, London.

The report (a follow-up of the original Transition Mapping Study published in 2013) has a threefold purpose: to review research and activity around the area of transition since 2013; to increase understanding of skills transfer and employment post-transition; and to update the quantitative model of the costs of poor transition from the original report.
