The Poppy Factory supports veterans with health conditions and their families into employment, helping them overcome any barriers.
Four out of five of the veterans we work with report a mental health condition. Whatever their situation, and whatever they are going through, our employment team is on hand to offer one-to-one support.
Our employment support is available to individuals who have served for one day or more in the Armed Forces or Reserves, and consider themselves to have any kind of physical or mental health condition.
If you're a veteran looking for employment support you can register through our online form, here. Find out more about our employment support here.
