Description

Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant

Firing Line Museum recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by: 

  • promoting the fact that we are an armed forces-friendly organisation;
  • seeking to support the employment of veterans young and old and working with the Career Transition Partnership (CTP), in order to establish a tailored employment pathway for Service Leavers;
  • striving to support the employment of Service spouses and partners;
  • endeavouring to offer a degree of flexibility in granting leave for Service spouses and partners before, during and after a partner’s deployment;
  • seeking to support our employees who choose to be members of the Reserve forces, including by accommodating their training and deployment where possible;
  • offering support to our local cadet units, either in our local community or in local schools, where possible;
  • aiming to actively participate in Armed Forces Day;
  • offering a discount to members of the Armed Forces Community. 

About us

The Firing Line Museum aims to be a world class museum that will inspire, educate and entertain our visitors. We will provide an engaging space that connects our communities and audiences with the heritage of the Armed Forces in Wales, 1st The Queen's Dragoon Guards and The Royal Welsh. The museum will preserve the collections of both the Cavalry and Infantry, we will highlight the stories of ordinary people who have done extraordinary things in the line of military service and will encourage active dialogue about the role of the Armed Forces in Wales. 

In particular, the museum's role is to highlight the heritage of Welsh Soldiers over the last 300 years, using artefacts from the collections of 1st The Queen's Dragoon Guards and The Royal Welsh to expand on this narrative; engaging with the public by interpreting their contributions to past and current history. The museum will implement its ethical and professional standards preserving this rich heritage for the purpose of historic interpretation of the Armed Forces in Wales, military history research learning and outreach and social interaction for public benefit.

We are wheelchair accessible, we have also been trained in Autism and Dementia Awareness.
