The national VALOUR website is now live.

That means if you're a veteran or family member anywhere in the country, you can go online today and find your local support options, or put in a request directly to the Office for Veterans' Affairs.

Here in Devon and Cornwall, Improving Lives Plymouth has been named as the main listed provider in that directory, working alongside Veterans Outdoors and Veterans Regroup. We're deeply proud, and honoured by that fact. It shows the Ministry of Defence and Office for Veterans' Affairs trust us to do real good for veterans locally, and they're backing that with investment to help us deliver it.

Go and use the website today, and get ready for our local offer to take shape over the next couple months.
