Did you know? We're here for more than you may think … part two
We don't just deal with bin collections! Arun District Council helps support our communities in many ways, often behind the scenes. We have a wide range of support available for residents of all ages.
Last week we provided information on our health and wellbeing services and safety initiatives - see the link below if you missed it.
We support our Armed Forces community
The council assists veterans, serving personnel and their families through the Armed Forces Covenant with housing advice, wellbeing support and other local services.
The council also signposts veterans to specialist support for employment, mental health, homelessness prevention, financial assistance and community groups, helping members of the Armed Forces community access the right help when they need it.
Our Armed Forces guidebook provides key council services information:

Veterans can contact the council by calling 01903 737500 or email armedforces@arun.gov.uk One of our armed forces champions will help veterans access the correct department, depending on their enquiry.
We also help residents with…
Cemetery services - supporting families during difficult times with arrangements that need to be made before a funeral can take place.
Regeneration projects - helping improve neighbourhoods and create opportunities for residents.
Community asset programmes - enabling valued local buildings and facilities to continue serving residents.
Partnership working with charities and community organisations - including local community resource centres that offer advice, activities and support.
