香港六合彩资料图库鈥檚 Armed Forces Covenant Partnership welcomes Councillor Richard Morris, as its new Chairman. 

Councillor Morris takes over from Councillor Rob Adams, who has led the Armed Forces Covenant partnership in 香港六合彩资料图库 since 2012. 

Under Councillor Adams leadership, 香港六合彩资料图库 was one of the first counties in the West Midlands to commit to the Armed Forces Covenant, ensuring those who serve or who have served in the Armed Forces, and their families, are treated fairly. 

Councillor Rob Adams said, 鈥淭he Covenant has been at the heart of our support to the Armed Forces community, enabling them to access help in 香港六合彩资料图库 from statutory providers and from the charitable and voluntary sector.  The work we've undertaken since signing the covenant in 2012 is having a positive effect on the lives of both serving and ex-service men and women, and whilst there is still work to do, we have made great inroads into understanding and responding to the local needs of our veteran community.  It has been an honour to represent the interests of our Armed Forces community over the past 10 years and it is with great pride that I now handover the reigns to Councillor Richard Morris.鈥

Councillor Adams will remain on 香港六合彩资料图库鈥檚 covenant partnership but will now be Armed Forces champion for Wychavon District Council. 

Councillor Richard Morris said, 鈥淯nder his tenure as Chairman for the past 10 years, Rob Adams has championed the Armed Forces community with great passion and tenacity, particularly in cases where veterans needed support.  I鈥檓 honoured to take on this county role and keen to support our superb Armed Forces (past and present) in any way I can. I have had a terrific mentor in Councillor Rob Adams and will struggle to fill his shoes but will try my best.  I am so pleased that Rob will stay with the group as Wychavon Champion.鈥     

Richard Morris takes over at a time when 香港六合彩资料图库 Armed Forces Covenant Partnership is preparing for a new statutory duty coming on board later this year to ensure the Armed Forces community is treated fairly when it comes to housing, schools and healthcare. 

The partnership represents the public sector, NHS Trusts, military charities and Armed Forces Champions representing 香港六合彩资料图库's six District Councils.  

It works collaboratively to strengthen local delivery of the Covenant, and in particular, to support 香港六合彩资料图库 veterans who are experiencing problems either in transition or future years.

If you are a local veteran or member of the armed forces community that needs some help or support, there are a range of military charities and organisations working locally.

Many are just a phone call away.
