Covid-19 It has been another quite extraordinary year. We started with a challenging employment market and ended with a record number of vacancies and skills shortages. While the forecast unemployment has been less than predicted post-furlough, there is much regional variation. Young and older veterans as well as women and wounded, injured and sick have found it more challenging to find work. Numbers in need and the complexity of their need have risen as a result. RFEA continued to operate as usual throughout the year. Our staff worked tirelessly to deliver full support to larger numbers of beneficiaries. Passion and commitment for the work, along with flexibility and adaptability to change, have been the hallmarks of the past year. Once again, Covid has not prevented us from delivering our mission and providing full support to our clients.
