Overview

The Veterans Welfare Service VWS provides one-to-one support to veterans, their families and dependants, via a network of welfare managers across the UK and Republic of Ireland.

We work together with the Royal Navy, British Army, and Royal Air Force, local authorities, voluntary organisations, service charities and Veterans Advisory and Pensions Committees to promote independence and maintains dignity.
