Sussex Armed Forces Network

Surrey Pathways

Armed Forces Covenant Forces Connect South East is a partnership across Hampshire, Kent & Medway, Surrey and Sussex to promote understanding and awareness within public authorities and related sectors, including health, of the issues which affect the Armed Forces community in the South East.

The project has been funded via the Armed Forces Covenant and part of it is building on the work which had already been completed within Sussex in regards to the development of pathways of services that support the Armed Forces Community. This has been done in parallel to the Service Champion Training which is also being carried out across the South East.
