Tom joined the Trust in February 2022. He has worked in the charity sector as a researcher for over 20 years, focusing on grant-making charities, sector insight reports, strategic reviews and evaluations, including research for armed forces charities. He has a background in social science, and has also been an external grants assessor for a community foundation and a trustee of a community arts charity.

Tom works on the evaluation of the Trust’s £30 million Veterans’ Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund and associated grant programmes, and is thrilled to be exploring the positive impact that grant holders and funded projects have had on beneficiaries within the armed forces community.
