The council is committed to a community covenant with the Armed Forces and Voluntary Action East Renfrewshire to build on its good relations between the Armed Forces community and partner organisations.
This voluntary statement of mutual support recognises and remembers the sacrifices made by members of the community, including those currently serving as well as their families.
