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 Harbour International Freight 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.

Government pledges £5 million to transform public space in memory of Bebe King, Elsie Stancombe & Alice Aguiar
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-09)

The funding will contribute to the renovation of Southport's Town Hall Gardens, which became a beacon of support and solidarity in Southport last year.

The families of Bebe King, Elsie Stancombe and Alice Aguiar will take a leading role in shaping the renovation of Southport’s Town Hall Gardens as a thank you to the community who have supported them.

The renovation will see the Town Hall Gardens, which became a beacon of support and solidarity in Southport last year, become an inclusive community-focused events space in the heart of Southport Town Centre.

In a meeting with the families today (10 June), the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister expressed their full support for the project and pledged £5 million for its development. This government funding will be matched by £2.5 million each from Sefton Council and the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority (LCRCA), bringing the total investment to £10 million.

Once complete, the space will be a vibrant, family-friendly destination - hosting open-air performances, markets, and community events - while also offering a unifying setting where people can come together to remember and reflect.

The families of Alice Aguiar, Bebe King and Elsie Stancombe said:

This project is a vision we have all shared for some time, which is rooted in love, resilience and unity. We wanted to find a way to thank the people of Southport for standing shoulder to shoulder with us. Your compassion has never wavered and your strength has helped carry us forward.

The regeneration of the Town Hall Gardens will become a legacy inspired by our three beautiful and amazing girls and it will be a space that is loved by many generations to come. It will be a place of joy, hope and community. A vibrant place where children and families can feel safe, connected and celebrated in the heart of our town.

We are grateful to the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister, to Sefton Council and to the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority and each of the region’s Councils, for listening to our voices and helping us achieve the funding we need for this project. This is only the beginning, and we all walk forward together with our amazing community in Southport, with purpose and hope.

The Deputy Prime Minister, Angela Rayner, said:

The strength of everyone in Southport has been beyond words and I am delighted that we are able to help with the families’ vision to give back to that amazing community, who continue to give everything they can to those families and victims.

We are committing £5 million to help create a safe community space for connection, reflection, and renewal - a lasting symbol of hope, guided by the strength of the families and wider community.

Sefton Council will lead the delivery of the project, working in partnership with the Deputy Prime Minister, Angela Rayner, and the LCRCA. Further details on next steps will be announced in due course.

SIA grant for good causes: how to apply
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-27)

Guidance on how charities and community interest companies in the UK can apply for funding from the Security Industry Authority’s grant for good causes.

Through our grant for good causes fund, we distribute money we have received through proceeds of crime confiscation orders. We give this money to registered charities and community interest companies in the UK.

How we get money for the fund

The Proceeds of Crime Act (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2002/29/contents) allows us to:
- investigate the financial activity of people who have committed a criminal offence
- seize the money criminals have made from their criminal acts, using a court-issued confiscation order
The Asset Recovery Incentivisation Scheme allows us to keep some of the money we seize.

How we use the money

The money we recover through confiscation orders can only be:
- used to fund our financial investigations
- distributed to good causes
We use some of the money to make grants to good causes that benefit the UK private security industry and support public safety.

We consider applications for funding at least once a year, and more often if we receive more money to give out.

Who can apply for a grant?

You must be a registered charity or community interest company to apply for a grant. You must also be able to show how the grant will support one or more of the following:
- people working, or intending to work, in the UK private security industry
- the UK private security industry as a whole
- public protection in the UK (for example, by preventing terrorism and crime, or protecting vulnerable people and communities)
We may include other conditions for each round of funding. For example, we might ask for applications from a particular geographical area or type of project.

We will publish details of any extra conditions each time we open for applications.

How to apply for a grant

Applications are now closed. For information about when the fund is next open for applications, sign up to our mailing list (#register-for-updates).

How we award the money

A grants committee decides how the money is allocated. The committee is made up of SIA staff and representatives from the private security industry.

If we approve your application, you will need to sign a grant agreement before we provide any funding. There is no guarantee that you will receive funding.

Grants we have awarded in the past

PM statement following visit to Auschwitz: 17 January 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-17)

The Prime Minister visited Auschwitz this morning, accompanied by his wife Victoria Starmer.

Nothing could prepare me for the sheer horror of what I have seen in this place. It is utterly harrowing. The mounds of hair, the shoes, the suitcases, the names and details, everything that was so meticulously kept, except for human life.

As I stood by the train tracks at Birkenau, looking across that cold, vast expanse, I felt a sickness, an air of desolation, as I tried to comprehend the enormity of this barbarous, planned, industrialised murder: a million people killed here for one reason, simply because they were Jewish.

My visit today has also shown me more clearly than ever before, how this was not the evil deeds of a few bad individuals. It took a collective endeavour by thousands of ordinary people who each played their part in constructing this whole industry of death. To build the tracks, drive the trains, extract the hair and teeth, conceive the method of mass murder – each stomach-churning step rooted in the hatred of difference. The lessons of this darkest of crimes are the ultimate warning to humanity of where prejudice can lead.

My wife was equally moved by what she saw today. It was her second visit, but no less harrowing than the first time she stepped through that gate and witnessed the depravity of what happened here.

Time and again we condemn this hatred, and we boldly say “never again”. But where is never again, when we see the poison of antisemitism rising around the world in aftermath of October 7th? Where is never again, when the pulse of fear is beating in our own Jewish community, as people are despicably targeted once again for the very same reason, because they are Jewish.

The truth that I have seen here today will stay with me for the rest of my life. So too, will my determination to defend that truth, to fight the poison of antisemitism and hatred in all its forms, and to do everything I can to make “never again” mean what it says, and what it must truly mean: never again.
