Showing our support for the Armed Forces
Brightlink have a longstanding relationship with the Armed Forces through family, friends and partners, and understand the contribution all service personnel give whether they are full time, part time reservist, serving or veterans. Brightlink have committed to support members of the Armed Forces in what ever way it can.
In September 2016 Brightlink Learning signed the Armed Forces Covenant.
We will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen.
- in some circumstances special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.

How Brightlink are supporting the Armed Forces community
Brightlink are currently registered with Forces Families Jobs
Forces Families Jobs (FFJ) is the free careers platform for family members of currently serving UK personnel, run for you by the tri-Service Families Federations. They understand the unique challenges, and opportunities, that being part of a serving military family can bring to your own career journey. They also know that being a military family member often means moving with your service person or being apart from them; that you can have gaps in your CV or regularly change jobs and/or career as a result of military life.
Since 2018 Brightlink has supported the Regiment Support Service for the Royal Welsh by sponsoring the Regimental Diaries
Incorporated in July 2010, The Regiment Support Service is a not-for-profit social enterprise that supports the British Army through the production and sale of the official regimental notebooks.
The regimental notebook acts as a reward to all soldiers who donate a day’s pay to the Regimental Association which helps serving and old soldiers who fall on hard times. The regimental notebooks are also sold to the public as a way of raising extra funds for benevolence and welfare.
Our Director Vincent is now a Trustee and a member of the Unit Management Team of Cardiff Sea Cadets.
The Sea Cadets is a national youth charity, traditionally based on the customs and traditions of the Royal Navy, that provides adventurous and educational training to young people aged 10 to 18. Through activities like sailing, canoeing, navigation, and engineering, the program helps participants develop vital life skills, self-confidence, and leadership. While it is not a pre-service recruitment organization, it fosters a strong sense of community, discipline, and civic responsibility across hundreds of local units.
