Can you help find a veteran with an unclaimed forces pension? – Between 2020 and 2022, over 4,000 preserved Armed Forces pensions went unclaimed. – The pension is not paid automatically. Veterans must apply to Veterans UK using AFPS Form 8 or call 0800 085 3600 for info.
We are proud of the team for maintaining the standards required (again)! If you have an event coming up,then do consider our hall and office spaces which are available to everyone to hire and at reasonable rates.Get in touch for further details - [email protected]
