(AWS) The AWS provides community support and a CONFIDENTIAL social and occupational welfare support service to all single, married, regular, TA and reservist soldiers and their families both serving and ex-serving (Inc info advice to RAF and Naval/RM).


Army Welfare Service Community Support


The purpose of AWS Community Support is to provide learning opportunities, activities and experiences that are sociable, recreational, educational and responsive to need, but also locally accessible, affordable and of good quality.


This provision is likely to include Pre-school groups, Community Centres, Youth Centres and projects within the community as well as provision for children and young people during some school holidays.


To enable the best possible use of premises and resources we need your help as a volunteer. You are the vital resource of AWS Community Support.


We believe that the best way to support our communities is to listen and develop an understanding of their needs and concerns and then where possible facilitate a programme that meets these.

Personal Support


The Army Welfare Service staff are trained and knowledgeable. They are sympathetic to people’s needs and can give confidential support to enable Service personnel and their families to cope with the stresses and strains of Service life The Army Welfare Service operates a strict confidentiality code; the code is fully explained in the ‘Confidentiality Code’ leaflet available from your Army Welfare Service Office. Everyone who works within The Army Welfare Service is required to follow the confidentiality code no matter who they are.


Confidentiality has to be broken only when and to prevent: the risk of self harm, a danger to others, a serious crime, civil or military, a breach of security or the effectiveness of a soldier being compromised in the course of their duty.


We strive to provide a social and occupational welfare support service to assist with the challenges that arise in personal and Service lives.
