Around 100 veterans attended the event at uclan and it could be an important step in them finding roles in the community in the city 🎖️
The Work and Health Fair, taking place on the 15th February, was the first of its kind in the Lancashire area, developed specifically with ex-forces personnel in mind.
While some veterans have physical injuries sustained while serving their country, others may be dealing with unseen challenges: recent research by the Poppy Factory has shown that four out of the five ex-Forces personnel they work with report a mental health condition. “This is another important event in support of Lancashire’s Armed Forces community under the banner of the Armed Forces Covenant. It will directly improve the lives of Forces people and shows great collaboration between government bodies such as DWP with private companies and charities alike – all held within UCLan’s wonderful Student Centre building.”
