It is funded by
FiMT and is part of the Veterans & Families Institute at
Anglia Ruskin University. The Centre will provide a research-enabling and production facility that will develop and strengthen links between the academic community, government organisations, statutory and voluntary service providers, the media and the public, including the whole Armed Forces Community.

- The underpinning of relevant policy and service provision by research
- A stronger and more coherent network of academic partners
- Improved networking and knowledge sharing among participants
- A more coherent understanding of research coverage and gaps
