Active Plus

​Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant

We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by:

• promoting the fact that we are an armed forces-friendly organisation;
• seeking to support the employment of veterans young and old, through our volunteer and employment pathway.
• working closely with Military Charities and other organisations to provide opportunities for WIS veterans to utilise their skills and experience and continue their road to recovery and transition to employment.
• striving to support the employment of Service spouses and partners;
• seeking to support our employees who choose to be members of the Reserve forces, including by accommodating their training and deployment where possible;
• aiming to actively participate in Armed Forces Day, jobs fairs and other activities that promote the employment of ex-service personnel.

​About us

Active Plus is a Community Interest Company established in 2011. We use the skills, experience and expertise of injured military veterans to deliver unique programmes that build confidence, motivation and self-belief, unlocking the potential of participants, all of whom are from vulnerable or potentially vulnerable groups.

We deliver courses, activities and one to one support for people who are unemployed, older people who are lonely or isolated, people with health conditions, including mental ill-health, and young people at risk of leaving school without qualifications or work. We also deliver team-building and communication activities for other organisations and businesses.  

Our ethos is about people helping themselves through helping others. This is reflected not only in the mutual benefits for both course participants and course tutors but also in the emphasis we place on building skills, confidence, connections and employability through volunteering and developing projects that benefit the wider community. Its a win-win-win situation!
