Northern Ireland: Statement from Northern Ireland Veterans Commissioner on OP VALOUR

 

NORTHERN IRELAND - OP VALOUR

Statement from Northern Ireland Veterans Commissioner - David Johnstone - 15 May

I welcome the UK Government’s announcement of the new VALOUR service, supported by a £50 million investment over three years, in veteran services across the UK. This is a significant opportunity to strengthen support for our veteran community.

That said, I await further detail on the duration of this funding and how it will be allocated in practice. In Northern Ireland, it is important that any new support structures build upon and complement the existing, trusted networks of veteran-focused organisations and services, rather than duplicate or fragment the support already in place.
