A little more about our mission

Experiences of bereavement connected to military service vary widely from good andsupportive to poor, with life changing and enduring consequences for armed forces families.Ouraim is to reduce the variation in lived experience and to help our communityquickly find the help they need be they spouse, partner, child, sibling, friend or parent.

When bereaved military families transition out of the service community, they can face challenges associated with accommodation,continuity of education, access to health services, employment and financialhardship.Following a death in service, a family may experience the loss of community, peer groups and identity which can make military families more vulnerable and isolated than their civilian counterparts.

We are a trauma informed and collaborative organisation. We recognise that service families are the backbone of the UK armed forces, providing essential emotional support and stability during deployments. The well-being of family members and our promise under the armed forces covenant to give special consideration to bereaved families, is vital in the recruitment and retention of service personnel.

Our aim is to ensure that culture and policy respects and addresses an evidenced need, and that the voices of this unique, often forgotten group, who are neither serving, or veterans, are given the dignity, support and resources to lead thriving lives after the death of their loved ones.
