Partners include:
- Gloucestershire County Council
- District councils
- Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
- Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust
- Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board (ICB)
- The Royal British Legion
- Royal Air Forces Association (RAFA)
- Blind Veterans UK

The partnership is chaired by County Councillor Sarah Hands, Gloucestershire County Council’s Armed Forces Champion

The partnership meetings are hosted by the county council, but the work of the Covenant in Gloucestershire is a shared responsibility. All partners are committed to ensuring that those who have served are not disadvantaged by their service.
If your organisation would like to support the Armed Forces community and attend the partnership forum, please contact: afcovenant@gloucestershire.gov.uk
