Grantham: Support and Resources for Military Personnel, Veterans and Families


The Hidden Voices project was developed by HWLincs, with funding from the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust, to understand how military personnel, veterans, and their families access mental health and wellbeing services, and how well the process works for them. Through conversations and engagement across Lincolnshire, we heard about the challenges people face and the areas where support could be improved.
As a result, we have identified key themes and areas for support. Below, you will find factsheets for each of these areas, bringing together useful information and signposting to help military communities access the services and support they need.

 DIO Service Family Accommodation (SFA) Communications Update - 18 March 2026

HomeHub

HomeHub is the newly launched online platform designed to support families living in UK Service Family Accommodation (SFA). HomeHub makes it easier for you to raise and track repairs and maintenance requests, as well as book and manage appointments. Families can quickly manage things online without the need to call Pinnacle.

It is now available to all serving personnel and their families across the UK where their properties are maintained by DIO’s maintenance providers Amey and VIVO.

To find out more information on HomeHub and how to register, click here

Scam awareness

We’ve recently been made aware that there has been a rise in incidents of scam callers contacting families, impersonating Pinnacle and other DIO contractors. These callers are asking families for personal details including: home address, property type and home ownership status. There have also been reports that some callers become aggressive when being challenged by families.

If you receive an unexpected call claiming to be from Pinnacle or a DIO contractor like Mears, VIVO or Amey, we urge you to do the following:
  • Do not share personal information 
  • Ask for the caller’s name and team 
  • Check for appointment confirmations or official contact numbers
You can report suspected phone scams in the UK to Action Fraud online at www.reportfraud.police.uk or by calling 0300 123 2040.
