Change lives

At the Forces Employment Charity, we’re dedicated to transforming the lives of the Armed Forces Community.

Every day, we help veterans, service leavers, reservists, and their families build successful futures through employment support, training, and lifelong guidance. But we can’t do it alone.

James’ story

Throughout 2025, RAF veteran and Surrey business owner, James Shaw, completed 185km of Tough Mudder obstacles, raising over £2,900 for the Forces Employment Charity.

Each event features mud, fire, ice, and walls, pushing participants. During the World’s Toughest Mudder, James covered 50 miles and 150 obstacles in 24 hours, demonstrating endurance and commitment to supporting the Armed Forces community.

“This year hasn’t just been about fitness. It’s been about showing my son, and others, what’s possible and making sure veterans and their families never get left behind.”

Veteran and business owner
