Proudly supporting those who serve
The Armed Forces Covenant is a promise from the nation to those who serve or who have served, and their families, which says we will do all we can to ensure they are treated fairly and not disadvantaged in their day-to-day lives.
The Armed Forces Covenant relies on the people, communities, and businesses of the UK to actively support it in order to make a difference. The government is committed to supporting the Armed Forces community by working with a range of partners who have signed the Armed Forces Covenant. The Covenant brings together the government, businesses, local authorities, charities and the public in order to support those who serve.
Our pledge to the Armed Forces Covenant
We continue to improve on our pledge and further support our Armed Forces by offering an additional 10 days paid leave, per year to support Reservist Training and Exercises, and 10 days paid leave for Adult Cadet Force Volunteers to attend support work for events.
