Our plan is to create a reliable digital platform for veterans to connect.  Those who have something to offer (havers) will be linked with those who have a requirement (needers).  All of us are both havers and needers.In a crowded area this project has several unique characteristics: It requires subscribers to join to maintain affinity. It measures the quality of connections ensuring the credibility of participants and outcomes

It is inclusive, a ‘network of networks’ that goes 'with the grain' of Government policy
Over time it will become wholly digitally enabled for ease of operation
The data generated will increase impact for subscribers
It will be moderated to answer the unanswerable and signpost solutions including charitable support

This is a not for profit subscription service not a charity.  It is designed to cultivate the bond that exists between all veterans, and to convert the hundreds of informal connections that are made between us into a powerful digital network.

The RBLI LifeWorks employment support programme involves a period of intensive face-to-face support followed by ongoing reach back and remote support.

Support for people transitioning out of the Armed Forces and into mainstream society covers aspects of employment and some briefings on finances and housing. Reports such as the Transition Mapping Study, Veterans Transition Review and Lifting the Lid on Transition support the need for a holistic model of support, yet nothing is changing quickly. Our combined experience and the available evidence shows that an effective, holistic model of support must include consideration for the cultural and values-based obstacles to healthy transition that are unique to people leaving service, and must therefore be developed with the maximum possible input from the people who it is designed to support.
