Faversham Town Council are very proud to announce we have been awarded the Silver Award for the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme. This recognises our commitment and support for our Armed Forces communities and we hope to inspire others to do the same.
Cllr Charles Gibson, our Armed Forces Champion will be attending a special awards ceremony in Portsmouth to receive our award.
The Defence Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) encourages employers to support defence and inspire others to do the same. The scheme encompasses Bronze, Silver and Gold awards for employer organisations that pledge, demonstrate or advocate support to defence and the armed forces community, and align their values with the Armed Forces Covenant.
The ERS is designed primarily to recognise private sector support although public sector organisations such as the emergency services, local authorities, NHS trusts and executive agencies are also eligible to be recognised.
Faversham Town Council would like to invite Faversham Businesses to join us in signing the Armed Forces Covenant and offering the Armed Forces Discount Card (Defence Privilege Card)
Please email fiona.palmer@favershamtowncouncil.gov.uk to let us know if you have signed the covenant and/or are offering the discount card.
