Yesterday I attended the Oxfordshire Veterans' Forum at the Edward Brooks Barracks in Abingdon to hear about the ongoing work on the Oxfordshire Community Covenant. The orginal covenant was signed several years ago and certainly needs updating to ensure that personnel leaving the military after service, can get the help and support they need. You can see my original blog post on this subject here.
Discussions were held regardng the transition into civilian life and the opportunities available to those who have undertaken military service, right through to pension support for those seeking advice and help.
Overall this was a very useful briefing and helps to keep us up to date with the help the County Council is able to give. Working both with charities and district councils, in particular, housing departments, is very important. I was pleased to be able to attend as Vice Chairman on this occasion to represent residents in Oxfordshire.
