About RBVE

For more than a century, RBVE has been empowering veterans to rebuild their lives. We create jobs, provide homes, and build communities because these are the foundations of a fulfilling, independent life. 

Many of the veterans we have supported live with physical or mental health challenges, and through our work to meet those needs, we’ve been able to expand our services.

Today, our impact extends not only to veterans but also to their families and people with disabilities across the UK.

RBVE History

Since 1919, RBVE has stood by those who have served and those facing barriers to work. From our founding days supporting WWI veterans to today, our commitment to encouraging independence has never wavered.
