About Veterans First UK
Empowering Veterans to Rebuild Through Care, Community, and Opportunity
Veterans First UK exists to support veterans facing health or accommodation challenges or those who have fallen on hard times. Our mission is to provide accommodation, healthcare, and job or business support for up to 12 months, empowering veterans to reintegrate into society with dignity and purpose.
“To create a nation where every veteran thrives with dignity, purpose, and the full support of a society that honours their service through action.”
Our vision represents more than words – it embodies our unwavering commitment to those who served. Through our comprehensive 12-month support program, we’re laying the groundwork for a future where every veteran has access to the resources they need, the understanding they deserve, and the opportunities they’ve earned.

Sapper to Civvy
Joshua’s journey began in the Royal Engineers, where he honed his leadership skills and developed a deep understanding of complex challenges. During his own transition period back to civvy street, Josh came across some of the challenges other veterans face on a daily basis across the whole of the UK. This personal insight has driven him to setup Veterans First UK as a Community Interest Company.
The idea to reshape society’s approach to veteran support has led to creating a model where understanding, opportunity, and practical help come together to ensure every veteran achieves their full potential.
