Yesterday, the Female Veterans' Transformation Programme formally launched its Female Veterans Toolkit in the historic surroundings of the Royal Hospital Chelsea.
The Toolkit provides practical, evidence-based advice and information for those who seek to support female veterans. It was a welcome opportunity to meet many stakeholders and women veterans. I also caught up with the UK Minister for Veterans and People Louise Sandher-Jones MP, Director of the OVA Anisha Worbs, and the Veterans Commissioners for Wales and Northern Ireland.
