We’re in Manchester for #CPC2025 to stand up for veterans failed by the medical discharge system. Too many have been left behind. We’re putting pressure on the government to listen, act, and fix a process that’s let our veterans down. 💙 👉 https://t.co/pbt8rl7L5x

👏 Huge thanks to our ambassador Barrie, who spoke on a panel this week about his own medical discharge journey. By teaming up with @PoppyLegion & @FiMTrust, we made sure veteran voices like Barrie’s were heard loud and clear at #LabourPartyConference 💙

Medical discharge doesn't just end a career. It can turn a whole family's world upside down. Craig's injury left him and his wife Georgina battling pain, stress and financial uncertainty. If you're struggling, we're here for you. 👇 https://t.co/9X5IajdnjB

Medical discharge can pull the rug from under a veteran when they’re already vulnerable. Craig went from 'invincible soldier' to feeling invisible – losing his career, his purpose and his direction. Veterans deserve better. The system must change. 👇 https://t.co/vveuHWzIkz
