The Poppy Factory
The Back to Work Programme, powered by The Poppy Factory, delivers support leading to employment for our wounded ex-servicemen and women, providing career development advice and vocational assessments, the sourcing of appropriate employers, and suitable roles within the correct culture of employment. The Poppy Factory will create employment for 500 disabled ex-service personnel over the next five years with this scheme. The Poppy Factory, which was established in 1922, has a simple aim – to enable wounded, injured and sick ex-Service men and women in finding paid, meaningful civilian employment.

Direct Relationships
We also work directly with corporates who are looking to employ wounded servicemen and women, identifying the right employment for those with the right qualifications. It is vital that those who have been injured are aware of their own strengths and weaknesses, and are able to understand their aptitude so they look for the right job in the right sector. We help to coordinate this process, working with other organisations who have the required expertise. There is extraordinary willingness in the corporate sector to help these young men and women find work, but it is vital that the right job is identified for each individual for the right reason.
This programme is continually developing, and we would be delighted to hear directly from companies who would like to offer wounded servicemen and women employment opportunities.
