CIVVY - A new uniform for Veteran Magazine

You may have noticed a change to our name. Veteran Magazine is now CIVVY. This isn’t a change in direction. It’s a sharper, more recognisable identity for what we’ve always been building, a modern UK platform for former members of HM Forces navigating life after service. “Civvy” is a word every veteran knows. It captures the reality of transition — familiar, honest, no dressing it up. That felt right.

What’s changing — and what isn’t

The name and brand are new. What we do isn’t. CIVVY is here to deliver practical, straight-talking content for veterans building civilian lives. What is expanding is the format, CIVVY will now live both online and in print.

A quarterly magazine, made to last

We’re launching a physical quarterly publication alongside the website. Expect quality writing, considered design and stories that reflect life after service as it actually is — careers, training, health, money, identity, family and community. It’s built to be something you pick up, read properly, and hold onto.
