However, the Covenant Fund has awarded a £2 million grant to a consortium of organisations led by The Royal British Legion and including Combat Stress, SSAFA and Poppyscotland who are working towards setting up a one-stop service to better support the UK's Armed Forces veterans community. It will give veterans, regardless of age or location, a simple point of contact to turn to for advice and help in accessing an array of public, private and charitable services and will be delivered across Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland and England.</p> answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster question first answered 19/12/2016 15:54:13 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton
