Forces in Mind Trust
The aim of the Forces in Mind Trust is to promote the successful transition of Armed Forces personnel, and their families, into civilian life.
The Trust commissions research to improve knowledge of the issues affecting veterans and their families and awards grants to support projects that increase the understanding of transition, including related mental health and well-being issues. Each year up to 20,000 people leave the Armed Forces. For the majority of those who leave, this is a successful process but there is a significant number who have face a difficult transition and it is on this group that the Trust will focus over the next three years.
In due course, the Trust will also undertake awareness raising campaigns, provide advice and support to those charities and organisations that directly support the Armed Forces community, veterans, their families and dependents.

Seafarers UK
We provide grants to specialist maritime charities and organisations, often small local ones, that are working to help serving and ex-serving seafarers and their families who are experiencing hardship. Our key aim is to provide sustainable funding and improve the quality of life for those in greatest need.
The Confederation of Service Charities
Cobseo, as the Confederation of Service Charities, provides a single point of contact for interaction with Government, including local government and the Devolved Administrations; with the Royal Household; with the Private Sector; and, of course, with other members of the Armed Forces Community. This allows Cobseo members to interact with all interested parties and especially to cooperate and collaborate with others in order to provide the best possible level of support to our beneficiaries.
Naval Families Federation
Offering an independent voice to Royal Naval and Royal Marines families.
Aggie Weston's
Aggie Weston's is here to help serving sailors, marines and their families. We have people at bases around the country who can offer one to one support. We also provide social opportunities and activities where friendships may be formed.
ASDIC
The Association of Service Drop-In Centres (ASDIC) represents and links veterans’ Drop-Ins across the country. Sometimes called Hubs or Centres, Drop-Ins offer a variety of welfare and mental health support, together with comradeship and a sense of wellbeing, to the ex-military community and their families, and ASDIC helps them to enhance the service they can provide and make them more accessible. It’s a hugely successful concept that’s been evolving at least since the Falklands conflict and has gained enormous momentum since the UK’s involvement in the Middle East interventions in the decades since. Quite simply, it’s a movement led largely by veterans for veterans – all Services, all ranks – in a huge number of locations across the country, where those who have served can just, literally, drop-in and find everything from friendship and free coffee to some serious professional and focused advice and guidance.
