02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
SAFE is established to support serving soldiers and those leaving the Armed Forces into employment, including by providing or funding training courses that improve their skills and employability and give them the opportunity to move into work on completion. Main activities include the development of premises and the development of income generation to ensure the organisation’s sustainability and longevity. External activities include working with community groups and military veterans. This supports a wider charitable aim of improving public safety, alongside a more focused aim of supporting military veterans, their families, and the bereaved immediate relatives of veterans.
