Last Thursday I had the honour of hosting the @veteransawardsni which is where โThe 457โ project was launched.
AN INCREDIBLE PROJECT and one very close to my โค๏ธ
457 is more than a number in a history book and indeed more than a number to me. It represents a person, a family and a story that deserves to be remembered. A soldier I, or my colleagues, carried home on MERT. ๐ซก
Marking the 25th anniversary of Operation HERRICK in 2027, The 457 will honour all 457 UK service personnel lost during the conflict in Afghanistan.
Handcrafted in Belfast by @nomadic.watches Watches, each of the 457 dedicated timepieces will honour one of the fallen, accompanied by artwork by @wills_art_world_ Wills MBE and a certificate sharing their story.
Taking custody of a timepiece means taking personal guardianship of a story. A quiet, daily mark of remembrance.
ยฃ457 from every timepiece will go directly to support @scottyscharity The Military Bereavement Charity, and @walkingwiththewounded. Connect Through Service receives no profit from this project.
To find out more and register your expression of interest, visit the457.co.uk.
One hero. One timepiece. One enduring memory.
(P.s โฆthe watches are STUNNING!)

๐ค We are grateful to the Gilbert Elliot Memorial Trust for their generous donation of ยฃ3,000 to support our wraparound care coordination programme in Scotland.
Their commitment to honouring Gilbert Wilkie Elliot's legacy is making a difference to veterans who need our support.

A valiant effort from Rebel Tribesman who should take no shame in defeat at Newton Abbot today.
Still plenty more to come from this promising 5-year old ๐ช

LOOKING FOR EMPLOYMENT SUPPORT AFTER MILITARY SERVICE?
Moving into civilian employment, returning to work after a period of unemployment or changing career can feel daunting. Fortunately, several specialist organisations provide free advice, training and practical support to members of the Armed Forces community.
Here are six organisations that may be able to help:
@ForcesEmploy
Provides lifelong employment support to veterans, Service leavers, reservists and military families. Its specialist advisers can help with career planning, CVs, applications, interviews, training opportunities and connections with employers who value military experience.
forcesemployment.org.ukโ
@PoppyFactory
Supports veterans and family members who may face health conditions or other barriers to employment. Its personalised service includes CV and job-search assistance, training advice, interview preparation and ongoing support after someone enters work.
poppyfactory.orgโ
@RBVECharity
RBVE helps veterans and people with disabilities build greater independence through employment, housing and community support. Its LifeWorks programme offers employment courses, confidence building, CV development, interview preparation and individual guidance.
rbve.org.ukโ
wearelifeworks.org.ukโ
@veteranxUK
A free digital platform offering personalised support for veterans and their families. Users can explore job opportunities, translate military experience into civilian skills, develop a CV and access guidance covering education, housing, finance and healthcare.
veteranx.ioโ
@supportthewalk
Provides personalised employment support for veterans who are struggling to find suitable and sustainable work. Employment advisers can help with CVs, interview preparation, work placements, training and continued support as veterans move into new roles.
walkingwiththewounded.org.ukโฆโ
@CTPinfo
The official Armed Forces resettlement service, supporting eligible Service leavers as they move into civilian employment, education or retirement. Support includes career guidance, training courses, workshops, resettlement events, digital resources and access to job vacancies. Eligibility depends on individual service circumstances.
modctp.co.ukโ
Military service develops valuable skills, experience and personal qualities. The challenge is often recognising how these strengths translate into civilian employmentโand knowing where to find the right support.
If you are a veteran or Service leaver looking for work, retraining or a new direction, please explore these organisations and share this information with anyone who may benefit.
