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 Olive Group (UK) Ltd 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 Olive Group (UK) Ltd 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 Reservists
- Armed Forces Day
We also pledge the following:

-Working with the Career Transition Partnership (CTP), in order to establish a tailored employment pathway for Service Leavers

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.

VAT: Refunds of VAT for Combined County Authorities
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-26)

This tax information and impact note is about adding Combined County Authorities to the list of bodies eligible for refunds of VAT under section 33 of the VAT Act 1994.

This measure will add Combined County Authorities to the list of bodies eligible for refunds, under section 33 of the Value Added Tax Act 1994.

Local government bodies can claim a refund of VAT incurred on purchases of goods and services made to support their statutory non-business activities, if either:
- they’re on the list of eligible bodies
- they have been added by individual Treasury Orders once they’ve been established
By adding Combined County Authorities to the list, they’ll no longer need individual Treasury Orders to be eligible for VAT refunds under section 33.
British Sign Language 5-year plan: Ministry of Justice
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-21)

This plan sets out how Ministry of Justice (MoJ) plans to improve the use of British Sign Language (BSL) in its communications in the next 5 years.

The BSL Act 2022 requires that named ministerial government departments must report on how they are promoting or facilitating the use of BSL in their communications with the public.

Each ministerial department has been asked to produce a 5-year BSL plan, setting out how they plan to improve the use of BSL within their departments.

These are published alongside the third BSL report (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/british-sign-language-bsl-third-report-may-2024-to-april-2025), which summarises work being done across the government to improve the use of BSL.

Departments will be asked to update on progress against their 5-year plan in the fourth BSL report. This is due to be published in July 2026.

Refugee Integration Outcomes (RIO): Employment from 2015 to 2023
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-27)

Employment rate, working hours and earnings of asylum refugees and resettlement refugees between 2015 and 2023.

The Refugee Integration Outcomes (RIO) longitudinal cohort study links Home Office data with administrative data from across government. This release includes analysis of linked HMRC data to understand how refugee employment outcomes change over time.

The analysis looks at employment rate, working hours and income by arrival route, sex, nationality and age.

Findings show that employment rates among refugees who were granted asylum or resettled to the UK between 2015 and 2023 increased quickly after gaining status but plateaued after 2 years at around 48%.

Median earnings for employed refugees reach £10,000 for part-time workers and those not working a regular pattern of hours and £23,000 for full-time workers.

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.

VATRESNI8450 - Handling correspondence: Problems encountered at EU departure points
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-05)


Below is a draft letter that may be sent to a traveller who has experienced difficulties at a Customs departure point in an EU Member State. The letter should be adapted to suit individual circumstances. Dear [insert name],

VAT Retail Export Scheme

Thank you for your letter of [insert date] about problems encountered at [insert detail] in obtaining certification of refund documents for goods purchased under the retail export scheme.

HM Revenue and Customs set the conditions, which must be met by retailers and overseas visitors in the UK. Our day-to-day involvement in the operation of the scheme extends only to:

· customs officers certifying the export of the goods where travellers’ final departure point is situated in Northern Ireland; and

· VAT officers ensuring that retailers properly account for VAT.

The requirement to produce refund documents for certification at final EU departure points is laid down in EU law and applies to all EU Member States. This requirement exists to ensure that goods are not diverted back into the EU market.

You state that you presented your refund form(s) to customs officers at [insert detail], that being your final departure point from the EU. I cannot comment on the arrangements for stamping forms at [insert detail], and that is a matter for the [insert detail] authorities. As responsibility for stamping your refund form rests with [insert detail] customs I suggest you contact them direct about the problems you experienced in [insert detail].

I am sorry I cannot give you a more favourable response.

Yours sincerely,
The Royal Welch Fusiliers Museum Trust
