Veterans Regroup CIC has been named a finalist in the national Soldiering On Awards 2026. The award recognises its work supporting veterans and the wider Armed Forces Community across Cornwall.
The Cornwall-based Community Interest Company is shortlisted for the Working Together Award. That award recognises outstanding collaboration and partnership working in support of the Armed Forces Community.
Winners will be announced at the Armed Forces Community Awards at Soldiering On Awards Night in London on Thursday 17 September 2026. The event brings together individuals and organisations from across the UK Armed Forces Community.
At the heart of Veterans Regroup's work is a growing network of multi-agency Armed Forces Hubs across Cornwall. They currently run in Helston, Liskeard, Penryn, Newquay, Launceston, Redruth and Penzance. A new hub launches in Torpoint in September, and another in Truro later this year.
The hubs bring together military charities and CICs, local authorities, NHS and health services, and military establishments within local communities. They provide welcoming and accessible places for members of the Armed Forces Community to access advice, support, guidance and advocacy across a wide range of needs. Support includes transitioning from military to civilian life, health and wellbeing, dental care, housing, employment and financial matters. There is also direct access and referrals to specialist services where needed.
The hubs operate a "No Wrong Door" approach. This helps ensure members of the Armed Forces Community can access the right advice and support without being passed unnecessarily between services or falling through gaps in provision.
Alongside its Armed Forces Hubs, Veterans Regroup provides welfare support, outreach and a wide range of wellbeing events and activities. These give veterans opportunities to connect with others, reduce social isolation, improve wellbeing, build confidence and enjoy camaraderie in relaxed and supportive environments.
Jane Jiwa, Founder and Managing Director of Veterans Regroup CIC, said: "Being named a finalist in the national Soldiering On Awards is an incredible honour for our whole team. The Working Together Award is particularly meaningful to us because collaboration is at the heart of everything we do. This recognition belongs not only to our team, but also to our volunteers and all the organisations that support our Armed Forces Hubs and work alongside us. We are incredibly proud to represent Cornwall and its Armed Forces Community at the awards in London."
The winners of the 2026 Armed Forces Community Awards at Soldiering On will be announced at the Awards Night at Park Plaza Westminster Bridge, London, on Thursday 17 September 2026.
