Views of armed forces community needed about new county hub

THE county’s Armed Forces Covenant Partnership is inviting the Armed Forces community to have their say on a new community hub to provide information and support.

The partnership, which is made up of over 50 organisations comes together to provide joined-up support for the armed forces community.

It is investigating the feasibility of providing a drop-in/community hub to provide support and information to veterans, service personnel and their families. The survey, which will help inform the process, aims to:

» collect views and evidence on whether a county-wide Gloucestershire Armed Forces community hub/ drop-in is needed

» incorporate members of the Armed Forces Community into the design and running of the hub

» raise awareness of the Armed Forces Covenant and support available to the armed forces community in Gloucestershire

The partnership would like to hear from the following:

» Anyone living in Gloucestershire who has served at least one day in the Armed Forces, reserves or national service

» Anyone currently serving in an Armed Forces site in the county

» Anyone living in Gloucestershire who is a family member or carer of a person who has, or is, serving in the Armed Forces

The online survey will close on October 28.
