<p>The Service Charities Partnership Board (SCPB) is the most senior MOD Forum with
charities and is attended by the Confederation of Service Charities (COBSEO), The
Royal British Legion and the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Families Association.</p><p>Our
structured engagement serves to help identify gaps in current provision and increase
coherence. The SCPB meets quarterly chaired by the Chief of Defence People with an
annual Ministerial-led meeting attended by a broader spectrum of Armed Forces charities.
Armed Forces charities are also represented at the MOD Welfare Conference, Bi-annual
Defence Recovery Board, and the Armed Forces Covenant Reference Group.</p><p>The MOD
continues to pursue a number of initiatives to increase coherence and minimising duplication
of effort amongst the many Service Charities, including producing clear strategies
in areas such as Mental Health; Wellbeing; and a Families Strategy, which will help
provide a clear and better direction to co-ordinate work in these areas as well as
helping to identify gaps in the current provision.</p>
