From a Service family, Rebecca O’Hanlon completed her PhD on a sport for development programme that supported veterans across the military to civilian transition. Prof Murray Leith, who is also a military veteran, has published widely on veteran support and identification.

Murray & Rebecca are also undertaking a piece of work to support UWS in signing the Armed Forces Covenant, recognising the support UWS has in place for this community. If you want to know more about our research or plans to sign the Covenant, please drop us a DM!📩
