LGA statement on new support service for veterans
Holylake War Memorial RESPONDING to the launch of Valour, a new national support service for veterans, Cllr David Fothergill, Chairman of the Local Government Association's Community Wellbeing Board, said:- "Investment to improve support for our veterans is positive. It is important that this new service strengthens, but does not duplicate, the vast experience Councils have of creating partnerships with local veteran's services. We look forward to collaborating with the Office for Veterans Affairs and the MoD on a service model that recognises the expertise already in place across Local Government and directs much needed resources where it is needed the most. Councils are committed to supporting the Armed Forces communities, and work hard to deliver duties under the Armed Forces Covenant to ensure they have access to housing, health and community services. This is despite not receiving any specific funding from Central Government for this. The Spending Review must adequately fund councils so they can fully support our veterans."
