OUR MISSION
In 2014, a Committee was formed when the in-house Veterans' Networks of several Financial Services firms identified a dislocation in the hiring of Veterans and the raising of funds for Service charities in the City of London. Evolving from this, the City Veterans CIC (a non-profit Community Interest Company) now runs recruiting and fundraising events with its members, supporting over a dozen different charities and raising material funds for much needed causes.
Working in partnership with Military in Law Network (MILNet) and the Forces Employment Charity (FEC), we exist to coordinate fund raising efforts and connect firms across the country and across different professional industries, to help them coordinate their recruiting efforts and engage at the right level with HM Forces.
City Veterans Military Sponsor
The City Veterans extend their heartfelt thanks to General Eldon Millar for his support during his tenure as the Assistant Chief of the Defence Staff (People Capability) and as the MoD sponsor to the City Veterans. We wish him all the best in his future endeavours
As we bid farewell to General Millar, we are pleased to announce that General Lisa Keetley will take over as the MoD sponsor of the City Veterans CIC. We look forward to working with her to strengthen relationships between City employers and the British Military.

“The work that the City Veterans team has delivered over the last few years for Service-leavers seeking new roles, and raising funds for Service charities, has been inspirational and impactful . I applaud the results and am honoured to be involved .”
