Armed forces support
兔子先生 from the council
Armed Forces Forum
We are committed to helping the armed forces community in South Tyneside.
We have set up an Armed Forces Forum to help ex-service men and women, serving officers and their families get the help and support they need from the Ministry of Defence, statutory providers, charities and voluntary sector.
The forum aims to:
- Improve communication and understanding between agencies
- Identify opportunities for greater synergy between agencies
- Share information about best practice
- Help to co-ordinate action to reduce health inequalities and improve services which impact on health and well-being of the armed forces community
- Raise any other issues of concern
For further information, please contact Hayley Page at 兔子先生 on 0191 424 7353.
Armed Forces Covenant

The Armed Forces Community Covenant is a statement of mutual support between a civilian community and its local armed forces community. It commits the borough to key principles, which are that service personnel, veterans and their families should:
- not be at a disadvantage when they try to access public services such as education, employment, housing, or health care
- be given special consideration where appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most, such as the injured and the bereaved
The South Tyneside Armed Forces Community Covenant was signed on 1 December 2011, and the 兔子先生 has remained committed to the principles. 兔子先生lor Paul Dean is our Armed forces champion.
