Description

The Officers’ Association (OA) is a registered charity, founded in 1920. We provide advice and financial help to relieve distress and hardship amongst those who have held a Commission in the Armed Forces, their families and dependants. We also support officers in their transition into civilian employment, thus meeting our purpose to aid, assist and promote the interests of all such persons.

Cost of Living Grant

In response to the challenging times that we are all facing, the OA is offering a new Cost of Living Grant to help individuals and their dependants meet the rising costs of food, utility bills, rent and transport.

In order to get the right support to the people who need it most, we carry out an assessment and eligibility check to identify the best help for you and your dependents, with a one-off grant of up to £500 being awarded.

The Forces Employment Charity

In May 2022, The Officers’ Association’s Employment department and the Regular Forces Employment Association combined to form The Forces Employment Charity.  Employment support for officers is now available via the Forces Employment Executive Services. 

Executive Services provide personalised career support to veterans, spouses and partners seeking executive level careers, through their:

  • Executive jobs board
  • Bespoke career consultations
  • Industry networking opportunities
  • Training and workshops
  • Flagship events and webinars

All members of the Officers’ Association still have access to these services via their membership which has been transferred to the Forces Employment Executive Services.

Visit our website for more information on the welfare we can provide and see what job opportunities there are.
