I was delighted to meet with Jane Gurney, CEO of @veteransfoundationuk today. It was invaluable to hear more about the Foundation's strategic approach to supporting the veteran community, and their plans to target and extend funding to ensure it delivers the greatest possible impact. Their continued commitment to strengthening support for veterans and their families is both impressive and inspiring.

A really helpful and productive catch up with the Chair, Lieutenant General Sir Nick Pope KCB CBE, and Director of Operations, Kate McCullogh, of @cobseo, The Confederation of Service Charities.

I greatly valued their UK-wide perspective on policy and practice, and the opportunity to share insights from Scotland.

Last year, the Female Veterans' Transformation Programme launched the Supporting Female Veterans Toolkit, containing practical, evidence-based advice and information to help charities, statutory services and employers better support women veterans.

From insights on needs and identity, to practical checklists for providing support in a range of areas, this is a hugely valuable resource to improve experienced and outcomes for an often overlooked group.
