NEARLY 3,000 visits were made to a new website for Devon’s military service leavers, veterans, reservists and their families, in the first four months since its launch.

The most visited web pages have been for information about housing, support for military families, information about employment and health matters.

However, the Devon Forces Family website — www.devonforcesfamily.org.uk — was launched in July by Devon County Council as an online directory of services, a one-stop-shop, and supports all people connected with the armed forces.

The website is funded by the Armed Forces Community Covenant Fund.

A short video to promote the website is available at the Devon Forces Family Facebook page. More information about the Armed Forces Community Covenant can be found at www.gov.uk/government/policies/armed-forces-covenant.
