To have a Veterans Charter inscribed in law.
To have the Veterans Charter, created by the Veterans Community Group, inscribed in law. Which calls for the Office of Veteran Affairs to be governed by locally elected veterans in a cross-party assembly, that will advocate six key areas on behalf of all veterans and their dependents.
There are 2.6 million Veterans in society. 6 million people, including their immediate family.
Upon leaving the Forces, they have to start all over again. Veterans score higher than other comparable groups for: inadequate housing, domestic violence, homelessness, addictions, mental health problems, criminality and sentencing, and suicide. Coincidently, veterans also score higher than any other group as volunteer workers, in all of the above groups.
