Originally founded to provide support to the Ministry of Defence and associated industry, we have a strong connection and commitment to supporting the armed forces community.
From the delivery of our work with the public sector to the sponsorships we engage with, such as Larkhill Eventing and Racecourse, we are passionate about supporting military personnel and their families. That’s why we’ve recently demonstrated our support by signing and making a pledge with the Armed Forces Covenant.
What is the Armed Forces Covenant?
The Armed Forces Covenant is a pledge that we acknowledge and understand that those who serve or who have served in the armed forces, and their families, should be treated with fairness and respect in the communities, economy and society they serve with their lives.
What is being done?
The covenant focusses on helping members of the armed forces community have the same access to government and commercial services and products as any other citizen.
This support is provided in a number of areas including:
- education and family well-being
- having a home
- starting a new career
- access to healthcare
- financial assistance
- discounted services
You can read the Armed Forces Covenant promise in full here.
Who is involved?
The Covenant supports serving personnel, service leavers, veterans, and their families, and is fulfilled by the different groups that have committed to making a difference.
These include:
- Central government, overseen by the Ministerial Covenant and Veterans Board
- Single Services (Royal Navy, British Army, Royal Air Force)
- Businesses of all sizes
- Local government
- Charities
- Communities
- Cadet forces and their adult volunteers
