A really valuable day of insight yesterday with updates and networking at Firm Base conference arranged by 51 Bde. 

Very encouraging to hear the range of policy and practice support for Serving people, families and the veteran community. Although there is still work to do to ensure that none are disadvantaged because of their Service.
