PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(30 May 2025)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps his Department is taking to support veterans living in rural communities.

Asked by:
Sarah Bool (Conservative)

Answer

This Government is committed to improving services for veterans wherever they live, including those who live in rural communities. We recently announced VALOUR, a new commitment to establish the first-ever UK-wide approach to veteran support, to ensure easier access to essential care and support for veterans across the UK.

This regional approach, based on a network of VALOUR support centres, together with regional field officers, will ensure that services are designed to meet the needs of their local communities.

Further details on VALOUR will be announced in due course and more information can be found at the following link https://www.gov.uk/guidance/valour-information-and-next-steps
