Today’s report on the treatment of LGBT+ Armed Forces personnel and veterans finds the policy "was wrong and unjust and in many cases has had life-long adverse consequences for those affected."
We stand ready to support LGBT+ veterans who may now look to a more positive future.
I am also very proud! Fantastic achievement to make it in to the show, which is full of amazing artwork by children and young people.
So proud to see this amazing boy’s sculpture on display at the Royal Academy Young Artists’ Summer Show!
What a privilege to be among so many incredible artworks 🎨well done to all 🤩

NHS staff can help ex-Forces patients improve their wellbeing by referring them for employment support, as proven by our pilots in Cheshire & Wirral, Portsmouth and Plymouth. Make a difference this #ArmedForcesWeek! Thanks to @NHSEngland @NHSArmedForces
