Skills for Justice commits to supporting UK armed forces
Date 11.11.24
Skills for Justice, part of The Workforce Development Trust, is proud to announce its formal commitment to supporting the UK armed forces by signing the Armed Forces Covenant. This vital step highlights our organisation’s dedication to recognising and honouring those who serve or have served in the armed forces and their families in the workplace and beyond.
By signing the covenant, Skills for Justice and The Workforce Development Trust pledge to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, ensure members of the armed forces community are not disadvantaged in society, and treat all with utmost respect and fairness. This commitment includes providing support for employees who are reservists or cadet force adult volunteers, allowing them to attend essential training exercises, and continuing to support armed forces charities through donations and fundraising efforts.
John Rogers, Chief Executive of The Workforce Development Trust said: “We are incredibly proud to have signed the Armed Forces Covenant, demonstrating our commitment to supporting those who serve, veterans, and their families. At the Workforce Development Trust, we recognise the invaluable skills, dedication, and resilience that members of the armed forces bring to our business and the broader community. By signing this covenant, we honour their contributions and reinforce our promise to create opportunities, provide support, and ensure their sacrifices are always recognised and respected.”
