RFCA for the North West of England & the Isle of Man

Creating spaces where conversations can change lives.

Congratulations to Mentell one of this year’s Employer Recognition Scheme Silver Award winners.

Through their “We Still Need You” programme, Mentell is helping veterans reconnect, access mental health support and use the skills developed through service to support other men in their communities. 🇬🇧

Matt, Project Manager for the programme, said:
“We are delighted and honoured to receive the Silver Award... We are committed to providing opportunities for veterans to access mental health support and receive professional training in peer-to-peer facilitation."

The photos from their annual retreat perfectly capture the power of connection, community and knowing that nobody has to struggle alone.

⛴️ Nearly 200 years of connecting communities and supporting people 🇮🇲👏

Congratulations to Isle of Man Steam Packet Company , one of this year’s Employer Recognition Scheme Silver Award winners.

Alongside supporting veterans and Reservists, the company also helps young people access incredible Tall Ships experiences and maritime opportunities, helping inspire the next generation through life at sea ⚓

“We are incredibly proud to have achieved the Silver Award under the Armed Forces Covenant. This recognition reflects our deep commitment to supporting veterans, reservists and the wider Armed Forces community…”

42 businesses. One shared commitment to Defence.

Congratulations to this year’s Employer Recognition Scheme Silver Award winners across the North West 👏

These organisations are backing the Armed Forces community in real ways, supporting Reservists, veterans, cadet force adult volunteers and military families through the way they work and lead.

Over the next few days we’ll be spotlighting some of the incredible businesses making a difference across our region ⭐

As Pride Month begins, we’re taking a moment to recognise the strength that comes from diversity across the Armed Forces family and here at NW RFCA.

From our Cadet Forces and Reservists to our staff and wider community, people from all backgrounds, identities and experiences stand side by side. That’s something we’re proud of.

Pride is about visibility, inclusion and continuing to move forward together.
To those who serve, support and show up as their authentic selves, we see you, we value you and we stand with you. 🏳️‍🌈

Big things are taking shape in Sandbach 👀

We’re developing a brand new cadet hut that will bring together the Army Cadet Force and RAF Air Cadets in a modern, purpose built training space designed to support the next generation.

This is a real investment in young people, giving them the space, facilities and environment they deserve to grow in confidence, skills and opportunity.

We’re proud to be delivering projects like this across the North West and look forward to sharing more as it progresses.

Look out for future updates on this exciting new project delivered by NWRFCA in support of the British Army Reserve Estate Optimisation Program.
