Support for Armed Forces Veterans: our covenant commitment (November 2025)
Together, we remember.
We recognise and appreciate the service of our Armed Forces veterans, and the sacrifices they and their families have made.
This Remembrance Day, we're highlighting our support for the Armed Forces Covenant - and what that means for veterans and their families.
Leaving the military and returning to civilian life can be a big adjustment. Life in the Armed Forces is often highly structured and routine, which can feel very different from civilian life. Many veterans find that the world has changed since they first joined the military.
This transition can be challenging, which is why it’s important for veterans and their families to know that support is available if they need it.
We’re proud to support the Armed Forces community. In 2018, we signed the Armed Forces Covenant alongside our Greater Manchester Housing Providers partners. This national promise ensures that those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces - and their families - are treated fairly and with respect.
The Covenant isn’t about giving special treatment. It’s about making sure no one is disadvantaged because of their service. It also helps build stronger links between the Armed Forces and local communities by raising awareness and encouraging mutual understanding. In some cases, such as for those injured or bereaved, special consideration may be appropriate.
If you're a veteran or a family member of someone who has served, we’ve created a webpage that explains what the Covenant means for you as a Bolton at Home customer, and includes links to support networks:
