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.
Employer Recognition Scheme Gold Award 2024
The City Veterans CIC are delighted to announce they have been awarded the Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) Gold Award 2024. This builds on the Silver award last year and shows the growth trajectory of the City Veterans, which is a testament to the hard work of the committee.
The Gold Award is the highest level of the ERS provided by the Ministry of Defence and recognises support to the entire military community including Veterans, Reservists and Cadets and an exemplar within their sector for advocating support to defence people.
It is a great honour to receive this award and be recognised amongst other Gold Award Holders including multinational organisations and Government services.
“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 .”
