We have affirmed our commitment to supporting UK military personnel, reservists, veterans and their families by signing the UK Armed Forces Covenant. 

The Armed Forces Covenant is a commitment made by organisations of all types to ensure those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, and those who have served in the past including their families, face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services.

We are able to support members of the armed forces, their families and veterans who live in our homes with access to our community support services, including employment support, education or training opportunities and money advice, and to help them receive the support they require. Our team are also able to signpost and refer people to specialist support services to help them receive any additional help needed.

Our Chief Executive, Claire Higgins, said: “We know that veterans of our armed forces can face some very unique challenges, as they adjust to civilian life.  Whilst we have not personally experienced the trauma many of them have experienced, and the effect it can have on them for years to come, we want to ensure as a business that we have our team fully equipped with all the knowledge and contacts they need to help support not only veterans, but their families and carers in any way that we can.

“We are also very proud to support any family members of serving armed forces personnel and those who serve in Reserve Forces who are CKH employees.”
