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 River Yealm Mooring Services 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 River Yealm Mooring Services 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 Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
We also pledge the following:

Supporting veterans who have served at any point in their lives not just recently, especially those in retirement who want to work.

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.

VCM14130 - Venture Capital Schemes Manual: the Enterprise Investment Scheme: income tax relief: investor procedures: investor conditions to claim tax reliefs
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-24)


ITA07/S203

An investor cannot claim tax relief until the company has sent in a compliance statement as described at VCM14090 (https://www.gov.uk/search/all?manual%5B%5D=%2Fhmrc-internal-manuals%2Fventure-capital-schemes-manual&q=VCM14090) and HMRC has authorised the company to issue a compliance certificate to the investor (claim form- EIS3). The investor must meet all the conditions needed to be a qualifying investor - see VCM11000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/venture-capital-schemes-manual/vcm11000) +.

An investor who wishes to claim relief in respect of a subscription may do so where the following conditions are satisfied:
- the investor must have received from the company form EIS3, which certifies that the company has not, so far, breached any of the conditions for being a qualifying company.
- The company completes page 1 of the EIS3 certificate in full as well as providing the Unique Investment reference (UIR) for the relevant share issue. The certificate should then be signed by an officer of the company, or an authorised agent. Page 3 of EIS3 should be left blank by the company because this is the page the investor completes to make a claim for tax relief.
- the investor must not, by the date of the claim, have breached any of the conditions for being a qualifying individual eligible for relief in respect of the shares,
- the company must have carried on the trade (or research and development) for which the money was raised for 4 months, except where it was unable to do so by reason of having gone into receivership or liquidation. (In practice, the investor will not receive form EIS3 until this condition is satisfied.)
If the subscription was made through an Approved Investment Fund (VCM16050 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/venture-capital-schemes-manual/vcm16050)), the investor will not receive forms EIS3, but a form EIS5 from the fund manager showing all the investment made through the fund.

An investor can claim EIS relief up to five years after 31 January following the end of the tax year in which the shares are treated as issued—this may be either the tax year of actual issue (current year) or, if a carry-back election is made under section 158(4b) ITA 2007, the preceding tax year. Therefore, it is essential to track which shares are treated as issued in which year to ensure claims are made within the correct timeframe. The claim period is longer than for most reliefs, to take account of the fact that it is dependent on the company first making its application and having that approved by HMRC. See VCM14090 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/venture-capital-schemes-manual/vcm14090)for the time limits for a company submitting a compliance statement.

Prime Minister's open letter to veterans ahead of VE Day
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-04)

An open letter from Prime Minister Keir Starmer to veterans ahead of VE Day celebrations.

In an open letter to veterans, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said:

To our veterans,

As we approach the VE Day anniversary, I want to salute your ongoing dedication to keeping our country safe.

This week, we celebrate the greatest victory our armed forces ever secured. And like so many families across the country, my relatives served and fought in the Second World War. Therefore, it is the highest honour of my role to meet veterans of that conflict. I think of people like Stanley Fisher and Mervyn Kersch, two Jewish veterans of the Normandy landings, who went on to become eyewitnesses to the horrors of the Bergen Belsen concentration camp in the early days of its liberation by British forces. Their stories – and countless others we will hear this week – are a reminder that our victory was not just for Britain. It was also a victory for good against the assembled forces of hatred, tyranny and evil. VE Day is a chance to acknowledge, again, that our debt to those who achieved it can never fully be repaid.

Yet as the nation falls silent on Thursday, I know that my mind will also turn to those who carry the torch of their legacy in our armed forces today – people like you. As time marches on, we all have a responsibility to renew the bonds of our history so that future generations inherit our national story as their own. But alongside our history and our values, service is the other great force that binds a nation together. So this week, I want you to know: the whole nation is inspired by the selfless dedication of your example. It is not just that you keep us all safe. It is also that you represent the best of who we are. A living link of service that unites the values we must stand for in the present, with the stories we must pass down from our past.

Furthermore, I know that this is not without sacrifice. I will always remember the conversation I had with a sub-mariner in Faslane, who brought home exactly what over 200 days a year underwater means for the simple things most families take for granted. Missing birthdays, weddings, anniversaries. Not being there in the photographs. From the Carrier Strike Group at sea, to our postings in Estonia, Cyprus and here in the UK, every service man and woman I have met has had a version of this story. And I recognise that this too is a debt that can never fully be repaid. But this week, the country will show you just how thankful we all are. Because we know, that without your service, the freedom, peace and joy that these celebrations embody, would not be possible.

So, wherever you are, wherever you serve, have a wonderful VE Day. And on behalf of a proud and grateful nation: thank you for your service.

HMRC can disclose information under this gateway for the purpose of the exercise of the relevant authority's functions under, or in relation to, Part 5 or 8 of the POCA. Information requests for the purpose of part 5 will be for the purpose of civil recovery investigations and proceedings including recovery orders, property freezing orders, interim receiving orders and prohibitory property orders in Scotland.

Evaluation of shared outcomes fund 2: family hubs transformation fund
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-07)

Developing the evidence base for family hubs – how local authorities that did not have a family hub model could manage the transition to one.

In autumn 2022, the Department for Education (DfE) awarded £12 million in family hubs transformation funding to 13 local authorities in England to open family hubs.

DfE commissioned Ecorys UK to carry out a mixed-method, process-only evaluation of the fund. This was done in partnership with:
- Starks Consulting
- Clarissa White Research
- Research in Practice
- Professor Jane Barlow at the University of Oxford
The overarching aim was to develop the evidence base for family hubs, with a specific emphasis on how local authorities that did not have a family hub model could best manage the transition towards one.
