Summer Tips campaign now live
Pinnacle’s 2026 Summer Tips social campaign is now live, offering timely, practical advice to support Service families as we head into the warmer months. Running throughout May and June, the campaign helps families prepare their homes, stay safe in hot weather and avoid common seasonal issues.
The posts cover a wide range of summer themes - from keeping homes safe and well‑maintained to managing outdoor spaces and preventing warm‑weather risks inside and outside the property. Each message reinforces our 24/7 helpdesk number so families know exactly where to turn if they need support.
All of this year’s tips can be viewed on the PSF website here.

Our next virtual outreach day
We are inviting all Service Family Accommodation (SFA) residents to join our next Virtual Outreach Day on Wednesday 10th June 2026. This online event is a valuable opportunity for families to connect directly with our support teams via Microsoft Teams, from the comfort of their own homes. 
Whether families are dealing with a tricky repair, have questions about allocations, or simply want to better understand the services available to them, the outreach day is designed to provide tailored assistance and guidance. These sessions are part of Pinnacle’s broader initiative to ensure military families have multiple, accessible ways to get the support they need. 
Booking is now open and can be done easily here.

Services Cotswold Centre

The Services Cotswold Centre (SCC) is a tri-Service facility, managed by Headquarters Army Welfare Service (AWS) and funded by Headquarters Regional Command on behalf of the MOD.

It provides short-term transit accommodation for Service Personnel (SP), family members and MOD civil servants. The key role of SCC is to accommodate varying numbers of vulnerable Service families, often with diverse and complex welfare needs.

The SCC is used for:

• Emergency accommodation for military families, spouses and civil partners who have been evacuated from assignments
• Meeting a welfare need such as supporting injured personnel, their carers and/or immediate family members
• Responding to family disruption such as marital breakdown
• Provision of accommodation between assignments – both before taking up a post or repatriation back to the UK
• Accommodation for discharging married personnel
• Short Breaks
• Contact Housing
• Transit accommodation – both duty and welfare

The centre has recently changed its telephone number to TEL: 0331 1432730
