We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We Avonline Networks will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Avonline Networks recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by pledging to the following:
- Armed Forces Friendly
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.

Chancellor meets European finance ministers in Copenhagen to unlock economic growth
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-19)

Chancellor Rachel Reeves is meeting finance ministers from European countries, Canada and Ukraine in Copenhagen to talk about defence, trade and investment.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves will today (Friday 18 September) attend the EU finance ministers meeting for the second time

UK set to deepen ties in defence and trade, to create a safer, more prosperous Europe

Chancellor will push for trade rules to help British business and the international investment needed to deliver growth and higher living standards for working people

Building on the hard work done to reset relationships with EU countries and the May UK-EU Summit, the Chancellor will take a seat at the table with the finance ministers responsible for economies within the UK’s biggest trading partner.

She will represent the UK as a sovereign nation acting in the national interest.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves said:

The EU remains our biggest trading partner. Our economic future is tied to Europe’s and we want to do more. More trade. More investment. More partnerships with countries that share our interests.

Economic growth and UK security cannot be separated. Together, we are creating a safer, and more prosperous Europe.”

The Chancellor will recognise that the global economy has changed since last year’s meeting in Brussels. She will push for fair, enforceable trade rules and renewed shared action, noting that growth, productivity and higher living standards are collective goals.

Security challenges across Europe—including Putin’s illegal invasion of Ukraine and ongoing tensions in the Middle East—make deeper defence partnerships more vital than ever. The UK-EU Security Partnership agreed in May will help create the preconditions for a safer, and more prosperous Europe.

Reeves will also reiterate that the UK remains committed to securing a just and lasting peace in Ukraine, with £4.5 billion being spent on military support to Ukraine this year – the UK’s highest ever level. She will call for better coordinated action against Russian aggression by using UK and EU advantages in the global financial system to provide more support to Ukraine.

The EU is the UK’s closest partner and biggest market. In 2024, almost half (46%) of the UK’s total trade was with the EU. Around 94,500 UK businesses exported goods to the EU, and around 157,000 businesses imported goods.

The UK-EU deal, announced on 19 May this year, follows a programme of reforms by the UK Government, which has made economic growth its number one mission. Reforms include backing a third runway at Heathrow Airport, greenlighting Europe’s largest theme park, ending a ban on onshore wind, and setting a target to build 1.5 million new homes.

Through the growth mission, the UK is delivering stability, reform, and investment, making the UK one of the most attractive destinations for international investment.

IMF concludes annual Mission to assess UK economy – upgrading UK growth and endorsing fiscal strategy.
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-27)

IMF upgraded the UK’s growth forecast for 2025 to 1.2%, saying that “an economic recovery is underway”.

Today the IMF released the concluding statement (https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.imf.org%2Fen%2FNews%2FArticles%2F2025%2F05%2F27%2Fcs-uk-aiv-2025&data=05%7C02%7CDigitalCommunications%40hmtreasury.gov.uk%7C19b0e5fa3f044f61cf4e08dd9d360c4f%7Ced1644c505e049e6bc39fcf7ac51c18c%7C0%7C0%7C638839577654125286%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=iCS4wFz9VvvPYLonWSleyG%2BX2pmePCuzK8FTaRsy0n4%3D&reserved=0) of their findings from the UK Article IV Mission – their annual review of the UK’s economic and fiscal outlook and policies.

As part of this, the IMF upgraded the UK’s growth forecast for 2025 to 1.2%, saying that “an economic recovery is underway”.

Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves said:

The UK was the fastest growing economy in the G7 for the first three months of this year and today the IMF has upgraded our growth forecast. We’re getting results for working people through our Plan for Change – with three new trade deals protecting jobs, boosting investment and cutting prices, a pay rise for three million workers through the National Living Wage, and wages beating inflation by £1,000 since the election.

The IMF endorsed the government’s fiscal strategy as striking ‘a good balance between supporting growth and safeguarding fiscal sustainability’; the strategy focuses on delivering stability through ironclad commitment to our robust fiscal rules and a single fiscal event a year, while increasing investment and pursuing ambitious structural reform to boost productivity and growth. Growth is the solution to the challenges we face, and this government is going further and faster to unlock growth that is sustainable in the long term.

The IMF also highlighted support for the government’s Growth Mission, and that it “focuses on the right areas to lift productivity”. Through the Growth Mission, the government is restoring stability, increasing investment, and reforming the economy to drive up prosperity and living standards across every region of the UK.

The IMF welcomed the government’s spending plans as “credible and growth-friendly”, noting that “they are expected to provide an economic boost over the medium term”. The government’s upcoming Spending Review, Industrial Strategy and Infrastructure Strategy will deliver the certainty and stability businesses need to invest in the UK’s growing and high potential sectors.

The IMF’s full UK Article IV surveillance report will be published in the summer.
Trustee board: people and skills
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-13)

Check who is eligible to be a trustee and what skills they need to have

Check who is eligible to be a trustee

The law says that some people cannot be a charity trustee.

You must not appoint a person who is not allowed by law to be a trustee.

Use guidance about finding and appointing trustees (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/finding-new-trustees-cc30). This sets out the checks you must make before you appoint new trustees. It includes guidance on checking:
- if a person meets the minimum age requirement for trustees
- that a person is not disqualified from being a trustee
- if a trustee position requires a relevant DBS check
Recruiting new trustees

Your charity may be recruiting new trustees for the first time.

Use guidance about finding and appointing trustees (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/finding-new-trustees-cc30) to help you to:
- identify the skills you need on your trustee board to take your charity forward
- encourage people to apply to be trustees of your charity
- inform new trustees about their legal responsibilities (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-essential-trustee-what-you-need-to-know-cc3)
- welcome, train and support new trustees
When recruiting your first trustee board:
- aim to stagger the lengths of the first appointments, so that your trustees don’t all change at once
- consider setting clear role descriptions for trustees, including for specific office holders such as your chair and treasurer
Governing document rules about trustee appointments

When you create your charity’s governing document, it will include rules about trustee appointments. For example, it may say:
- what is the lowest number of trustees that your charity must have, and if there is an upper limit
- how long trustees can be in post
- if other organisations can appoint trustees of your charity
- if your charity’s members must elect some or all of your trustees
- the process you must follow to appoint new trustees
- who can be a trustee of your charity. For example, it may say that some or all of your trustees must live in a certain place
You must follow what your governing document says.

Trustees who live outside the UK

You can appoint someone who lives outside the UK as a trustee. This includes:
- non-British citizens
- people in the UK on temporary visas or seeking asylum
- British citizens who live abroad
Check that the person is eligible to be a trustee, and the appointment is:
- allowed by your charity’s governing document (check for any residential or similar restrictions)
- in your charity’s best interests, so that the benefits of the appointment outweigh any issues or problems
Consider how you will:
- hold meetings if one or more trustees live abroad
- ensure regular and active participation by these trustees

We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

A consultation on updating how local authorities are funded through the local government finance settlement.

It also covers ways we can reduce demands on local government and increase local flexibility, for example through changes to the sales, fees and charges landscape and funding consolidation.

This consultation relates to changes from 2026-27 onwards and is distinct to that of the provisional local government finance settlement for 2025-26 (https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/consultation-provisional-local-government-finance-settlement-2025-to-2026).

We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We Lightning Training Solutions Limited will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;

The UK remains committed to achieving justice for survivors of Daesh crimes: UK statement at the UN Security Council
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-10)

Statement by Fergus Eckersley, UK Minister Counsellor, at the UN Security Council meeting on threats to international peace and security caused by terrorist acts.

The UK remains fully focused on tackling the continued threat from Daesh and its affiliates.

Whilst steady progress has been made by the international community to suppress Daesh, we cannot become complacent.

Daesh continues to exploit regional instability, drive division and seek new ways to finance its operations through emerging technology and this remains a global threat which we need to address collectively.

In the Middle East, after decades of atrocities committed by the Assad regime, the United Kingdom stands with the people of Syria and their desire to build a more stable, free and prosperous future.

We welcome continued efforts, including by the Global Coalition, to suppress Daesh and reduce the risk they pose as Syria embarks on this historic political transition.

Iraq also remains a critical partner – the reduction in Daesh’s influence and impact in Iraq is a credit to Iraqi determination and sustained military efforts, alongside Coalition partners.

The UK remains committed to achieving justice for survivors of Daesh crimes.

We will continue working with the Government of Iraq as they build on UNITAD’s legacy and deliver accountability through their National Centre for International Judicial Cooperation (NCIJC).

In Asia, ISKP continue to pose a threat despite work to combat them, including by Pakistan, and other countries in the region.

The UK continues to coordinate action against the group through the ISKP Diplomatic Grouping, targeting their propaganda and seeking to restrict their access to financial resources.

In Africa, Daesh continues to spread across large parts of the continent, threatening regional stability and inspiring individuals to conduct attacks.

The African Union plays a central role in coordinating the international response, and the UK welcomes, for example. the renewed mandate of the Multinational Joint Task Force and the recent deployment of the AU Support and Stabilisation Mission to Somalia.

Finally, we cannot fight terrorism with force alone.

A whole of society approach with the meaningful participation of women is needed to address the long-term drivers of terrorism.

The protection of human rights and rule of law should be at the heart of all of our efforts.

CMA issues Directions to NatWest about bundling products
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-28)

Directions issued by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) to NatWest to ensure it complies with the SME Banking Undertakings 2002.

In 2002, NatWest (then Royal Bank of Scotland) gave legally-binding undertakings that they would no longer (except for in specific circumstances) make small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) customers open or maintain a business current account in order to get a business loan or a deposit account. This practice is commonly known as ‘bundling’.

Following an investigation, the CMA concluded that NatWest has breached the undertakings. The CMA has issued NatWest with written directions designed to improve its compliance with the undertakings.

The CMA also publishes an annual report on compliance with the 2002 behavioural undertakings (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/sme-banking-2002-behavioural-undertakings-report-on-compliance).

Varied and consolidated directions

28 May 2025: The directions to NatWest were varied through changes to clauses 14 and 15.
