Armed Forces Community Covenant
Working together in Cheshire East to support the Armed Forces community
Cheshire has a long history of armed forces being based within the county and, Cheshire East Council has recently become a signatory to the Cheshire, Halton and Warrington Community Covenant (PDF, 376KB). The Community Covenant is a voluntary statement of support between communities and the armed forces community.
The aims of the community covenant are to:
- Encourage local communities to support the Armed Forces Community in their areas
- Nurture public understanding and awareness of issues affecting the Armed Forces Community
- Recognise and remember the sacrifices made by the Armed Forces Community
- Encourage activities which help to integrate the Armed Forces Community into local life
