Further information
Since its launch in 2018, the Forces Connect App has grown steadily, enabled by funding from the Ministry of Defence (MOD) Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust and current sponsorship from Surrey County Council.
The web version has been developed in response to feedback from the app's rapidly growing user base and the increasing number of regions represented. This enhancement will make it even easier for members of the Armed Forces community nationwide to quickly find relevant support.
While the app is designed to support our veterans and Armed Forces personnel, its features are also beneficial for families and can be accessed nationwide, extending beyond Surrey. Call centres have been among those requesting this development, enabling teams answering the phone to have this resource at their fingertips. Through Armed Forces Awareness Training, frontline workers are encouraged to ask, "Have you or an immediate family member ever served?" The Forces Connect App allows them to quickly identify potential sources of support.
The recent upgrades were made possible through additional support from Surrey County Council, demonstrating its commitment to the Armed Forces Community and ensuring no one is left behind.
