Joining forces to improve the health and wellbeing of our community

Working together to enhance the wellbeing of the Armed Forces community

We are the Forces Wellbeing Collective — a trusted network of professionals, volunteers, and cross-sector organisations working together to improve the wellbeing of the Armed Forces community in the North West.

We are united in our mission to strengthen pathways and raise standards across the region, ensuring that every veteran, serving family member, and carer receives the same high-quality support, no matter where they turn.

We do this by creating collaboration and a shared culture of openness and cooperation. We’re person-centred, inclusive, and deeply committed to listening to lived experience. By joining forces with expert partners, we’re tackling the region’s most pressing challenges — together.

This is a space for learning, improving, and acting with purpose. Through shared knowledge, tools, and innovation, we are building a better-connected future for our Armed Forces community.
