Veterans Services: Integrated Support for the Armed Forces Community

Supporting Those Who Served Every Step of the Way

We recognise the unique experiences, strengths, and challenges of our Armed Forces community, including families and dependants. Our Veterans Services offer a joined-up, wraparound approach, connecting you and those close to you to the right support at the right time—no matter your circumstances.

Whether you are transitioning to civilian life, seeking support for yourself or your loved ones, or simply looking to connect, we are here to help.

Our Approach: Wraparound, Integrated Support

We don’t work in isolation. Our Veterans Services are designed to work alongside all of our other services to ensure you receive seamless support.

This means:

  • You won’t need to repeat your story multiple times
  • We coordinate across services on your behalf
  • Support is tailored to your personal situation
  • We focus on long-term outcomes, not just immediate needs

Our goal is to provide holistic support that recognises the full picture of your life—housing, health, employment, wellbeing, and community.

How We Can Support You

  • Advice on housing options and homelessness prevention
  • Support with applications and tenancy sustainment
  • Priority pathways where applicable under Armed Forces commitments
  • Links to specialist veteran housing providers

Working Together for Better Outcomes

Our Veterans Services are part of a wider network of support. We work closely with:

  • Internal teams across our organisation
  • NHS and health providers
  • Armed Forces charities and specialist organisations
  • Local partners and community groups

By working together, we ensure that support is coordinated, effective, and centred around you.

Partnerships & Funding

Delivering effective Veterans Services depends on strong partnerships and sustainable funding. We collaborate with key organisations to ensure support is coordinated, accessible, and impactful.

A central partner is Forces Hub Gloucestershire, led by Chris Auker-Howlett, which brings together services across the county to provide a streamlined, connected network for veterans, service personnel, reservists, and their families. This partnership strengthens our wraparound approach, ensuring individuals can access the right support at the right time without navigating services alone.

Our work is also supported by funding from The Veterans’ Foundation, enabling us to expand tailored support, improve service integration, and focus on early intervention and long-term outcomes.

Together, these partnerships allow us to deliver coordinated multi-agency support, improve access across key services, and promote long-term stability and independence for the Armed Forces community.
