Support veterans
We recognise the skills, experience and perspective that veterans bring into civilian life and the private security profession.
ARMED FORCES COMMITMENT
Service doesn't end when service ends.
UKSC is committed to supporting the Armed Forces community — from serving personnel and service leavers to veterans, families, veteran-owned organisations and the charities that support them.
Our commitment is practical: support people, strengthen organisations and help translate military experience into opportunity.
UKSC
Supporting those who have served.
Through our consultancy work, veteran-focused support and commitment to the wider Armed Forces community.
Experience • Service • OpportunityOUR COMMITMENT
A commitment that goes beyond a logo.
UKSC believes the Armed Forces community should be able to access professional support, meaningful opportunities and organisations that understand the value of military service.
Back veteran-owned organisations
Veteran-owned organisations can access discounted UKSC consultancy rates. Contact us to discuss eligibility and requirements.
Support veteran charities
We are committed to helping veteran charities where security advice is needed, including where financial resources are limited.
Create opportunity
We want service leavers and veterans considering security to know that their military experience can be a strong foundation for a civilian career.
SUPPORT FOR VETERAN CHARITIES
If you support veterans, we want to support you.
Veteran charities and Armed Forces organisations often operate with limited resources. Security, risk and resilience should not be inaccessible simply because a charity cannot afford conventional consultancy fees.
UKSC is committed to working with veteran charities regardless of their financial ability. Where a conventional commercial engagement is not realistic, we will discuss what practical support we can provide, including reduced-fee or pro-bono assistance where appropriate and subject to scope and capacity.
WHAT WE CAN HELP WITH
- Security risk and threat reviews
- Protective security advice
- Premises and physical security
- Event and venue security planning
- Counter-terrorism awareness and preparedness
- Security policies, procedures and guidance
- Incident and crisis preparedness
Why this matters
Security requirements can be a significant consideration for a growing organisation. We want veteran-owned businesses to have access to professional security advice without cost becoming an unnecessary barrier.
What we can support
Risk assessments, protective security reviews, policies and procedures, event security, crisis preparedness, board advice and wider security planning.
How to access it
Contact UKSC, tell us that the organisation is veteran-owned and outline what you need. We will discuss the appropriate level of support and the applicable discounted rate.
