The Poppy Factory helps veterans and their families on their journey towards employment.
The people we support can face some of the most challenging situations in the Armed Forces community.
Each year, our specialist team helps hundreds of people to change their lives, taking positive steps forward on their own terms.
Support near you
The Poppy Factory’s employment consultants are based regionally throughout England and Wales, offering regular one-to-one contact with veterans and their families.
They help with CV writing, job search, support with training, exploring new opportunities, interview preparation, overcoming barriers and in-work support.
Veterans are at the heart of our service. We empower them to plan their own future, supporting them into employment that reflects their aspirations, skills and circumstances.
Specialist support and meaningful employment can be truly life-changing.
