The Armed Forces Covenant is a promise that charities, local authorities, businesses, communities and individuals will work together to support the fair treatment of the armed forces community.

The covenant’s main aim is to ensure that those who currently serve, have served and their families, face no disadvantage, compared to other residents, when accessing public and commercial services.
