Entrain Space

The sun may have finally come out but the Entrain Space team are still enjoying their new hoodies! Wrapped up and ready to tackle everything the day throws at them, whether it’s Kelli settling in new residents, Kenny engaging with referral partners or Josh keeping our admin up to date, we’re doing it in style. 😎 #EntrainSpace

Great to welcome back CSgt Jiban Rai, Unit Welfare Officer from the @Army1MERCIAN, visiting us this week alongside a service leaver preparing to move to Entrain Space. Working together like this helps ensure the right support is in place at Entrain Space from day one, providing a smooth and welcoming transition for service leavers as they leave the military and start their civilian life with us. #EntrainSpace #VeteransSupport

Kenny attended the Wilton Town Council meeting this week, continuing our engagement with local partners and keeping us up to date with developments across the community. It was also an opportunity to welcome Wilton’s new Mayor, Cllr Chris Harrison, who has taken over the role from former Mayor Cllr Alexandra Boyd. We wish Cllr Boyd the very best of luck in her future endeavours and look forward to working closely with Cllr Harrison to maintain a strong relationship with the Council. Staying connected through meetings like this helps ensure Entrain Space remains an active and accountable part of the local community, strengthening relationships and supporting both our resident veterans and the wider local community. #EntrainSpace #VeteransSupport #Community

Good to welcome PC Barber McLean to Entrain Space this week for a catch-up with the team. Regular engagement with local partners, including community policing, is all part of our work supporting veterans to transition to a good civilian life. #EntrainSpace #Community #VeteransSupport

Matthew and Kenny about to attend the @Cobseo Employment Cluster in London today, joining partners from across the sector to strengthen collaboration around employment, training and education support for #veterans. Engagement in forums like this helps ensure our residents benefit from well-integrated services that are responsive, effective and aligned with individual needs. #EntrainSpace #VeteransSupport #EmploymentSupport

February has been busy as we continue to receive many applications to Entrain Space. We also welcomed two new residents – one who served with the @RoyalNavy and another who served with the @BritishArmy in the @R_Signals – and said farewell to one of our @RoyalAirForce veterans as they moved on. From supporting residents into work and training, to community drop-ins such as at Mens Shed at Wilton and meetings with partner agencies, it’s been great to see so many of our veterans getting involved and taking positive steps forward. #EntrainSpace #VeteranSupport

Great to catch up with Kev Bell, a Regional Wellbeing Caseworker from @TheRNBT, and to meet Wendy Harris, a Casework Manager from the @RoyalNavyFPS, to discuss support for our resident Royal Navy veterans and their families, who also popped by for a catch up. #EntrainSpace #VeteranSupport

A key part of our move-in process for service leavers involves engaging with their military welfare and resettlement officers to ensure the individual support they need is in place from Day 1. This week Kenny met online with CSgt Jiban Rai, Unit Welfare Officer of the the 1st Battalion @Army1MERCIAN to coordinate a smooth transition for a service leaver when they start their civilian life with us. We look forward to their arrival! #EntrainSpace #VeteransSupport

We are pleased to welcome our newest resident, Amber. 🐕‍🦺 Amber is a fully trained support dog and trusted companion to a #veteran of @RiflesRegiment who has recently moved into one of our adapted flats. We are delighted to have them both as part of the Entrain Space community. Amber plays a vital role every day. She helps maintain a safe space around her owner, using her body to create distance and giving a short bark if someone approaches unexpectedly. She can check rooms ahead of time and alert her owner if anyone is inside. She provides pressure therapy to help with relaxation and supports anxiety grounding by recognising rising stress levels, guiding her owner away from busy areas and leading them to a safe space. This is why the right environment matters. With the right support in place, our residents can live more independently and with greater confidence. If you see Amber out in the community, please remember she is a working dog. She needs to stay focused on her owner so she can continue doing the important job she has been trained to do. #EntrainSpace #LoveYourDogDay2026

Great to see Sue Mosley last week visiting with her team from the @BowraFoundation to hold their team strategy day here at Entrain Space. BOWRA do fantastic work and we are proud to be working with them. #EntrainSpace #VeteranSupport

Well done to our resident Rhys, a @BritishArmy #veteran of @MercianRegiment, who has been appointed as Facilities Officer for Wilton Town Council. Rhys started out working at Entrain Space to help maintain the facilities here and he shows the value of hard work and commitment in progressing civilian life. Good work Rhys, we're sure you'll be a great addition to the Council team! 👏 #EntrainSpace

We worked closely with Billy and his welfare team at the @RNRMC in advance of his move-in at Entrain Space, which was on the same day as his medical discharge from the @RoyalNavy. That way we were able to coordinate together to make sure the right support was in place for him to immediately access and begin a positive transition to civilian life. Billy (not his real name) said: “After four years of service in the Royal Navy straight from education, transitioning to civilian life was daunting. Entrain Space gave me more than just a roof over my head, it gave me a fresh start. The team helped me plan every step of my move, and the supportive community made me feel like I belonged again. It’s not just accommodation it’s a launchpad for the next chapter of my life.” #EntrainSpace #VeteransSupport

It was a pleasure to work with @JamesIRPhillips, @walesvetcomm, to secure a place through our priority referral scheme for a #veteran from @RYORKS_REGT; the veteran now has a secure tenancy in their own flat at Entrain Space and the support to help them work towards a positive civilian life. #EntrainSpace

Nothing like a hot brew, some tasty bites and a good catch-up to start the day! Our monthly Tea & Toast mornings give our team and resident #veterans alike a nice moment for a relaxed chat and catch-up together. Sometimes the best conversations happen over a spot of breakfast, especially when Kelli has done some baking! #EntrainSpace #VeteranSupport #Community

January was a very busy start to the year for us, with a particularly large influx of new applications. We also said farewell to three of our @BritishArmy residents as they moved-on to continue their new civilian lives, and we welcomed three new #veterans who moved-in – one served with @RiflesRegiment, another with @RYORKS_REGT, and a third who completed their service with the @RoyalNavy. It's also been a pleasure to catch up with 'alumni' #veterans who dropped in for a brew and catch-up with the team, having moved-on from Entrain Space previously. #EntrainSpace

Kelli visited The Pantry Partnership in Salisbury last week as they continue to be a valuable community resource for our resident #veterans, providing both practical support and a sense of connection through regular local engagement. These everyday interactions play an important part in building confidence and community belonging. #EntrainSpace @yourlocalpantry

Thanks to Josh, our Administrative Support Officer, a @RoyalNavy #veteran and former Entrain Space resident, for his excellent article in our quarterly residents' newsletter. For this Winter's "Well-being Zone" feature, he discussed his passion for Martial Arts and how it has contributed enormously to his well-being. Here's an excerpt: "Exercise won’t solve everything, but it has become a vital part of my life after service. Martial arts, in particular, has given me structure, motivation, and a positive outlet for managing stress. It brings other benefits including improved sleep, better cardiovascular health, enhanced coordination and reflexes, stronger resilience, a sharper mind, greater awareness of my body, opportunities to mentor or support others, and simply the enjoyment and satisfaction of mastering new skills." You're an example to us all Josh, especially during #REDJanuary2026! 💪 #EntrainSpace

A very Happy Birthday to our team member and Royal Navy veteran, Josh! 🎉 #EntrainSpace

Kenny regularly introduces our new residents to local organisations like Mens Shed Wilton to help them settle in and make meaningful connections, strengthening our community ties and helping tackle the sense of isolation that can arise after leaving the military. @UKMensSheds #EntrainSpace #VeteransSupport

We’re always proud to see our veterans at Entrain Space move into successful employment. Our residents have secured work across sectors including construction, hospitality, facilities management, logistics, health and wellness, security, manufacturing, retail, health and safety and customer-facing roles, as well as self-employment. Through tailored 1-to-1 support, CV and interview guidance, and ongoing in-work support, we help residents turn military experience into sustainable civilian careers. We are also keen to work with employers in support of our veterans joining and progressing in the workplace. #EntrainSpace #VeteransIntoWork #EmploymentSupport @Babcockplc @NHSuk @wiltscouncil @VentureSecurity @DWPgovuk @thepembrokearms @ReevetheBaker @SalisburyReds @Chemring_Group
