Our Vision
Our goal is to build a community where every veteran and service member feels appreciated, supported, and empowered to lead meaningful lives both during and after their service to our country.
While our journey has just begun, we believe that by coming together, we can strengthen our community.
Dorset County Council estimates that the Armed Forces Community in Dorset comprises over 100,000 members, representing approximately 12.9% of the county's population of 771,900.
This indicates that 1 in every 7 individuals in Dorset likely has a connection to the forces and can benefit from our network.
