The Personal Finance Society’s Forces MoneyPlan initiative has been granted affiliate membership of the Confederation of Forces Charities (Cobseo).
Cobseo represents the entire serving and veterans’ community – some six million people and their dependants.
Membership of Cobseo is only open to charities or other organisations whose primary purpose is to promote and further the welfare and general interests of the Armed Forces community.
Forces MoneyPlan is a pro-bono initiative offering free financial guidance to Armed Forces personnel and Veterans from a fully qualified financial adviser and member of the Personal Finance Society.
Keith Richards, chief executive of the Personal Finance Society, said: “Acceptance of the Personal Finance Society as an affiliate member is recognition of the unique role of Forces MoneyPlan and especially the efforts and commitment of our adviser volunteers, without whom this unique and valuable service would not be possible.
“In 2020, the PFS looks forward to working with Cobseo to broaden both the scope and impact of Forces MoneyPlan, by helping facilitate direct access to individual member charities that include, among many others, the Royal British Legion, Help for Heroes and armed forces charity SSAFA.”
