South West: Forces Connect


The Armed Forces Covenant is a promise by the nation ensuring that those who serve or who have served in the armed forces, and their families, are treated fairly.

The military community comprises Regulars and Reservists from the Royal Navy, Royal Marines, Army and Royal Air Force, their families and veterans, including National Service.

Forces Connect South West is a local authority initiative that supports the delivery of the Armed Forces Covenant to the military community across the South West through effective partnerships.
This site has been designed to simplify the identification, understanding and the pathways to accessing the right support when and where required. It also provides information and resources to help better understand the Armed Forces Covenant in the South West and nationally. If you need help, please go to the Veterans Gateway via the 'Get Help' button.

Please note that the area's covered include:

  • Wiltshire
  • Somerset
  • Gloucestershire
  • Bristol
  • Dorset
  • Cornwall
  • Devon
