The Armed Forces Community Covenant was proudly signed by Sevenoaks District Council in 2013 and commits the Council and military communities to work together more closely to support current and former Armed Forces personnel and their families.
The Covenant encourages the integration of Service and civilian life and encourages the Armed Forces community to help local communities across the District. The Covenant recognises challenges that Armed Forces can face accessing public service. It aims to encourage all partners within a community to offer support to the local Armed Forces community and make it easier for Service personnel, families and veterans to access help and support from the MOD, statutory providers and charities and voluntary and community organisations.
For information about support services within Sevenoaks District for veterans, Armed Forces personnel and their families, please view the Sevenoaks District Armed Forces Community Covenant.

Support for Veterans
The support for veterans and their families pages on the GOV website provides a directory of government and charity support for veterans and their families.
Veterans UK is the operational delivery area within the Ministry of Defence (MoD) that is responsible for the administration and payment, by the MoD, of Armed Forces Pensions and War Pensions, Armed Forces Compensation Schemes, and Welfare.
Royal British Legion provide expert advice and guidance, to recovery and rehabilitation, through to transitioning to civilian life. It’s not just members of the Armed Forces, but their families too.
Help for Heroes believe that every member of our Armed Forces community should have the opportunity to live well after service. There are many challenges that can make transitioning from the military to civilian life tough. Help for Heroes provide veterans with carefully tailored and holistic support for their physical and mental health, along with their welfare and social needs.
