achievements: supporting the Armed Services

WRVS has 94 services welfare officers based at units in the UK,
Germany, Cyprus and the Falkland Islands. This is up from 86 last year.

In 2006-7:

  • service personnel made more than 740,000 visits to our recreation
    centres (120,000 more visits than last year)
  • we provided primary welfare support to 7,700 soldiers
    (down 1,200 on last year, partly because of the number of soldiers
    sent to Afghanistan and Iraq from bases in Germany).

We also made a range of improvements to the welfare and recreation
services we provide for service personnel as set out in the PDF below.
