Improving the Wellbeing of the Whole Force
A career in the Armed Forces is unique, and many thrive on the challenges and pressures of military life. For others though, navigating strict routines and dealing with loneliness can be overwhelming.
Research we conducted with Ipsos MORI shows that living far from home, in single-living accommodation, is taking its toll on the mental health of a whole generation of service personnel.
Read more about the frustrations and new priorities of service personnel, and the improvements that could make a real impact on their lived experience.
Village for the whole force
Designed to create connections, build community and foster morale, Village is a multifunctional social hub that incorporates one stop catering, retail and leisure facilities and puts the wellbeing of service personnel at the heart of life on base.
First introduced at Worthy Down Station, Village is a scalable, flexible solution designed to benefit the whole force and integrate with the specific needs of each site and its customers.
Social Value in the Military Family
As a responsible global company, Sodexo plays a key role in supporting the Ministry of Defence to deliver meaningful social value, sustainability and positive change for service personnel, communities and the wider environment.
Inclusive Places for Wellbeing
Recognising that there is economic disparity across our communities, we pledge to create social contracts that support equity, inclusion and wellbeing - helping individuals and businesses to overcome social and cultural challenges through skills development, social mobility and job creation.
Food Waste
Food waste is a major global problem, with around one third of all food produced for human consumption thought to be wasted – a total of 1.3 billion tonnes each year. Defence accounts for 50% of the UK central government’s emissions; find out how Sodexo is reducing food waste on military sites through WasteWatch.
