All Armed Forces members to establish communications with one another and ensure that they are aware of events and services that they are eligible for. 

Forest of Dean District Council will continue to assist with Armed Forces events, including Remembrance Sunday and both Armed Forces Day and Armed Forces Week. The Armed Forces Network will also host several in-person events for the Armed Forces community and charities throughout the year to introduce our Armed Forces families to local support groups. 

The team will also speak directly with the Armed Forces community across the district to ensure they are aware of benefits such as the HM Armed Forces Veteran Card, and the Veteran Aware accredited programme through GP surgeries which can make it quicker and easier to apply for support as a veteran.
