Staffordshire County Council

Description

Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant

Staffordshire has a long and proud military heritage, which continues to this day with the Defence Medical Services in Lichfield and the Royal Signals in Stafford, as well as a large number of Reserve and Cadet units. 

To show its commitment to all armed forces and their families and to ensure they are treated fairly, Staffordshire County Council signed The Staffordshire Armed Forces Covenant back in May 2012. It was signed collaboratively by military representatives and a range of public, private and voluntary organisations all committed to supporting our armed forces community.

The Staffordshire Armed Forces Covenant Partnership works to deliver the aims of the Covenant by embedding and sustaining activity to ensure that members of our Armed Forces community receive the support they need; nurture public understanding and awareness of the issues they face; encourage activities which help to integrate the community into local life and encourage Staffordshire communities and businesses to get on board and show their support.
