We provide life-changing employment support to veterans with health conditions.

Story

The Poppy Factory supports veterans with complex health challenges to find the right jobs in their own communities so they can thrive in the civilian workplace, and improve their confidence, health and well-being.

The veterans who seek their support are really struggling in life. 75% are dealing with mental health challenges, often alongside a range of complex physical conditions. Many experience additional barriers to employment alongside their health condition, such as social isolation, age prejudice, inexperience of civilian working life, substance misuse, homelessness, and financial and welfare difficulties. 

It costs us £3,394 to support one veteran. This may seem like a lot but we’re not a light touch organisation. The veterans we help are often really struggling in life.

In the current climate veterans need The Poppy Factory’s support on matters of employment more than ever – now and over the coming months as we navigate through uncharted waters of Covid-19.

Thank you.
