A veteran is someone who has served in the armed forces for at least one day, and up to 2% of the local population of Hounslow and surrounding areas identify as a veteran.
We are committed to providing our veterans with the specialist care that they need, including high quality mental health support and access to dedicated services by military and civilian experts. The aim is to ensure that veterans can better access the support that is right for them and, where appropriate, be referred to specialist veteran healthcare services.
