About Forward Assist

Based in the North East of England but with a geographical footprint across the UK, Forward Assist is a charity that helps veterans adjust to civilian life.

They can offer support and advice in a number of areas, including:

  • unemployment
  • homelessness
  • involvement in the criminal justice system
  • family breakdown and/or chronic social exclusion

They can provide help in finding new career paths, adapting to civilian society and coping with the physical and psychological impacts of service.

Their interventions seek to build confidence and motivation, encouraging veterans to apply their strengths and abilities to new contexts.
