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 VCare 24 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;

Director information hub: Dissolved companies
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-09)

A dissolved company is one that has been removed or ‘struck off’ from the Companies House register. Once dissolved the company is no longer able to trade.

Help us to improve the director information hub by completing a short feedback survey. (https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/PCI2DV/)

Deciding to dissolve your company

If a company is no longer needed it may, in some circumstances, be appropriate to apply to Companies House for is to be struck off the register and dissolved.

To be eligible, your company must not:
- have traded or sold stock in the last 3 months
- have changed names in the last 3 months
- be threatened with liquidation or other type of insolvency proceedings
- have any agreements with creditors in place
If your company is eligible meets this criteria, then you can start the process of closing it down. (https://www.gov.uk/strike-off-your-company-from-companies-register/close-down-your-company)

Dissolving your company

Once you have completed the actions required to close your company down, as a director can apply to dissolve it online at Companies House. (https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/close-a-company/)

In some circumstances, Companies House can dissolve a company for not fulfilling its reporting duties.

More information on strike off and dissolution (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/company-strike-off-dissolution-and-restoration/strike-off-dissolution-and-restoration) is available from Companies House.

Action that can be taken after dissolution

It is possible to restore a company to the register after it has been struck off and dissolved. A director may need to do this if they realise there are assets that have not been dealt with.

It is also possible for a creditor to restore a company. They will have to do this if they want to take action to recover their debt.

More information on restoration of dissolved companies (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/company-strike-off-dissolution-and-restoration/strike-off-dissolution-and-restoration) is available from Companies House.

Where matters of misconduct are reported it is possible for an investigation to be carried out and for a director of a dissolved company to be disqualified (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dissolved-company-investigations/dissolved-company-investigations) from acting as a director for a period of time.

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 dt-squad 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;
