Supporting Suffolk’s Armed Forces Community
In Suffolk there are around 3,000 UK Armed Forces Service personnel and similar number of spouses and children. Of the 30,000 Veterans in the county, around 10,000 are of working age.
The Armed Forces Covenant Board has compiled a directory of local services: mental health, welfare, community support and meet-up groups which champions the breath of support from across many partner organisations.
