This is an exciting time in Conwy, we have as a County signed the Armed Forces Covenant, the Covenant is Conwy’s commitment to ensuring that serving armed forces personnel and veterans are not disadvantaged by their role and experiences. The covenant was signed by representatives from the County Council, Betsi Cadwalader health board, CVSC, the Royal British legion and the three armed forces. This is a really pertinent time when the armed forces are facing redundancies with a potential for the armed forces community in Conwy to grow and therefore demand on associated services increase.
Signing the Covenant was however the easy bit and now we want to make this happen. As part of the covenant we must ensure that Conwy has the necessary services in place and that they are accessible and co-ordinated to make the armed forces community in Conwy thrive and feel informed and welcome. This workshop is to open discussion on existing service provisions, identifying gaps in provision and identifying the issues in Conwy. We would like attendance by organisations from across all sectors and work areas to ensure a broad knowledge base.
