What is the Veterans’ Gateway?

In November 2016 the Ministry of Defence announced £2 million of funding from the

Covenant Fund for a one-stop service to better support British Armed Forces veterans in

need. The service responds to calls from veterans’ charities and groups for help in navigating the wide range of

services and organisations set up to support those who have served in the Forces.

The service will be the first point of contact for veterans and their families to access information, advice and

support on a range of issues including healthcare, housing, and employment. It will allow information and

services from partners to be accessed from one place and all enquiries will be followed up to

ensure that veterans receive the right support.

The Veteran’s Gateway will provide website, online chat, phone line and text message

services available to any veteran, from anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day. Veterans can

access face-to-face support through the Veterans’ Gateway network of partners and

organisations across the UK and overseas
