During the week of Remembrance Day, Armed Forces in York and across North Yorkshire have been provided with a new guide for how to access the services available to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These services include guides on mental health, education and employment, and housing and benefits. It also provides ways to contact charities supporting current, and past serving personnel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The guide has been developed by North Yorkshire and the City of York\u2019s councils for all veterans, serving members and reservists across the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Councillor Claire Douglas, Leader of City of York Council and Armed Forces champion said: \u201cNo one who has ever served in the Armed Forces, or their families, should be disadvantaged because of their service, and this guide shows how we will meet that commitment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The guide is 48 pages long, and contains a mix of advice, information, and examples of other servicemen who have benefited from the support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is available as both a printed version and an online eBook, and has been shared with the York and North Yorkshire Armed Forces community.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
North Yorkshire Council\u2019s Armed Forces Champion, councillor Kevin Foster said: \u201cIt\u2019s fantastic to see the Armed Forces Covenant guide completed and ready to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis has been a real team effort, showing what can be achieved through cross-party cooperation and partnership between three authorities.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
