A new project has launched to benefit thousands of Armed Forces veterans and their partners living in care homes across England. 

The Veteran Friendly Framework (VFF) aims to tackle loneliness and isolation and deliver improved health and wellbeing outcomes for over 25,000 veterans. It will support the practical, emotional and social needs for the Armed Forces community by providing care homes with resources to assess and improve their offer.

Care providers will need to meet eight standards to complete accreditation. These include identifying wellbeing needs, addressing social isolation and providing signposting to local statutory and charitable support services.
