Who is part of the armed force community?

The armed forces community refers to all those who are serving or have served in the Army, Navy, Royal Air Force and Merchant Navy (during conflict). The community also includes immediate family members and dependents of those who have served.

How can I find the help I need?

There are a wide range of services specifically designed for the armed forces community available from local government, Ministry of Defence and third sector organisations. It can often be confusing when trying to find the best organisations to help.

To make this easier use our Armed Forces Service Library to find the organisations in the Vale of Glamorgan area who will be able to assist. Searching is quick and easy.

Whenever you request a service, please make us aware that you are a member of the armed forces community. There are often special rules that apply to members of the community in relation to local government services, and we want to ensure that you benefit from these.

Armed Forces Community Covenant Grant Scheme

The aim of the Community Covenant Grant Scheme is to financially support projects, at the local level, which strengthen the ties or the mutual understanding between members of the Armed Forces Community and the wider community in which they live.  Find out more
