The brave men and women of our Armed Forces sacrifice much in the service of their country, so it is only right we ensure that they and their families are supported. Minister for Defence People, Veterans and Service Families, Dr Andrew Murrison, said: “Today we welcome John Lewis as the 10,000th signing to the Armed Forces Covenant. In addition to fostering commitments to the Covenant, the Government has committed millions of pounds in funding to ensure veterans’ mental health, accommodation, and childcare, among other issues, is well catered for and funded. Since 2011, when the concept was enshrined into law, the Covenant reinforced the moral obligation between nation, government and Armed Forces which has since seen UK organisations of all sizes commit to treating our Armed Forces Personnel, and their families, fairly. The retailer is the latest in a long line of large and small organisations to confirm their pledge to our serving Armed Forces personnel and veterans, demonstrating a commitment to work with and for our personnel. More than 10,000 organisations have committed to improving the lives of service people and their families, with John Lewis becoming the latest signatory to mark this major milestone.
