Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant

About us

We’re really proud to be part of the Armed Services Covenant, that recognises the sacrifices faced by the armed forces community, as well as creating public awareness of the issues that they face.

For South Ribble Borough Council, the Covenant presents an opportunity to provide help and advice to members of the Armed Forces Community.

Commitment runs through the organisation from front line staff being aware of the services we offer to those who serve or who have served in the armed forces, and their families. We support reservists employed by the Council with paid time off and a commitment to the spouses/partners of reservists and members of the regular armed services at times of deployment, injury or bereavement.
