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 Back To Back Careers CIC 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 Back To Back Careers CIC 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
- Reserve Forces Day
- Discounts
- Armed Forces Charities
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.

What to do if you have poor quality wall insulation
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-18)

Check what to do if you've had poor quality insulation work fitted through a government scheme.

There are quality issues with some solid wall insulation fitted through government schemes.

This includes issues such as poor installation or failure to meet building regulations, which can lead to problems like damp or mould.

Who is affected

You may be affected if you had internal wall insulation or external wall insulation (https://energysavingtrust.org.uk/advice/solid-wall-insulation/#jumpto-11) fitted between April 2022 and January 2025 through the following schemes:
- Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS)
- Energy Company Obligation (ECO4)
Ofgem has sent letters to all affected properties setting out next steps.

Contact Ofgem (#get-help) if:
- you believe you’re affected but did not get a letter
- the letter confirmed that no action is required but you still have concerns
What happens next

Your insulation work will be quality checked by qualified professionals. This may include a review of the installation documents or a visit to your property.

As part of this check, you may be contacted by the following bodies:
- Ofgem (https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/) - GBIS/ECO4 administrator
- TrustMark (https://www.trustmark.org.uk/homeowner) - quality scheme administrator
- a certification body - the body that oversees the work of your installer
If your insulation work is found to be faulty, your installer will be asked to fix the issue.

You should not be asked to pay any money for this work.

All organisations involved in the process will use your Unique Measure Reference when contacting you. You can find this number in your letter. If you’re unsure if someone contacting you is genuine, you can contact the freephone number provided below.

If you have other concerns about your insulation

If you’ve had insulation fitted under a different government scheme, you should not need to take any action. If you have concerns, you can contact your council or social housing provider.

If you have a separate complaint about your installation, you can follow the steps set out in the TrustMark complaints process. This includes information on what to do if your installer is no longer operating and how to find your installer’s certification body.

See the TrustMark complaints process (https://www.trustmark.org.uk/homeowner/support/complaints-process).

Get help

If you have any questions or need any more information, you can contact Ofgem.

Please give your Unique Measure Reference if you have one.

You can contact us without this number, but it’s quicker for us to find your details if you have it.

How we protected the UK and space in March 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-11)

This report was issued in April 2025 and covers the time period 1 March 2025 to 31 March 2025 inclusive.

March saw continued high levels of space activity which saw both uncontrolled re-entry and collision alerts at levels above the 12-month rolling average. All NSpOC warning and protection services functioned as expected throughout the period.

Re-entry Analysis

March has seen a reduction in the number of objects re-entering Earth’s atmosphere when compared with the previous two months.

Of the 85 objects that re-entered, 73 were satellites, 7 were rocket bodies, 1 was a piece of debris and 4 were unidentified objects, likely to be either a rocket body or a satellite.

April: 22, May: 56, June: 48, July: 44, August: 89, September: 50, October: 35, November: 47, December: 83, January: 115, February: 129, March: 85

In-Space Collision Avoidance

Collision risks to UK-licensed satellites remained steady in March with a 1% increase compared with February, above the rolling average of 2,434.

April: 1,899, May: 2,560, June: 1,881, July: 1,795, August: 2,137, September: 3,041, October: 3,181, November: 2,722, December: 2,142, January: 2,694, February: 2,567, March: 2,588

Number of Objects in Space

There was an increase to the in-orbit population during March, with 285 newly catalogued objects added to the US Satellite Catalogue.

131 newly catalogued objects were attributed to the Starlink constellation with a further 74 catalogued objects coming from the Falcon 9 Transporter 13 mission on 15 March.

April: 28,752, May: 28,850, June: 28,931, July: 28,917, August: 29,297, September: 29,678, October: 29,665, November: 29,826, December: 29,921, January: 29,985, February: 30,163, March: 30,323

Fragmentation Analysis

There have been no new fragmentation (break-up) incidents this month.

Space weather

Space weather was relatively quiet during March 2025 with a general absence of significant solar activity. Key events this period included:

Early – Mid March:

Periods of enhanced geomagnetic activity were observed throughout the month. Possible impacts on satellites include increased drag on those in LEO which may have required corrective manoeuvres. High frequency radio propagation may also have been degraded at higher latitudes.

28 March:

One of the more notable events from last month was a strong high-frequency radio blackout, affecting much of the sunlit side of the Earth for about an hour. Low frequency navigation systems may have been degraded for a similar amount of time.

31 March:

A minor radiation storm occurred, with satellites likely to have experienced a modest increase in Single Event Upsets (SEUs).

MID CHESHIRE HOSPITALS NHS FOUNDATION TRUST
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-10)

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 MID CHESHIRE HOSPITALS NHS FOUNDATION TRUST 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

Through a mix of one-to-one interviews and focus group discussions, this study aimed to examine how and where people learn their cooking skills, what cooking practices they rely on, the differences in cooking between generations, their perceptions of the future of cooking, and what fuels and technologies they adopt during cooking and why.

This is an output of the Modern Energy Cooking Services (MECS) programme.
