Spelthorne Council has been recognised for the support it offers ex-servicemen and women

 The authority has been given the gold award for the MOD sponsored Defence Employer Recognition Scheme.

Since signing the Armed Forces Covenant in 2014 Spelthorne Council has opened a Veterans Hub at Fordbridge Fire Station in Ashford.

They’ve also raised awareness of service issues by training 50 staff, launched a veterans facebook group, and made it easier for council employees to serve as reservists in the armed forces.
