Liquid Friday signs the Armed Forces Covenant
Liquid Friday is proud to announce its commitment to supporting the Armed Forces community by signing the Armed Forces Covenant. This significant step, facilitated by Shaping Portsmouth, reinforces our dedication to promoting a culture of equality and inclusivity, both in the workplace and wider community.
What is the Armed Forces Covenant?
The Armed Forces Covenant is a pledge ensuring fair treatment for those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces, as well as their families. It represents a promise by organisations to acknowledge the sacrifices made by military personnel and to provide them with the opportunities and support they deserve. This includes tackling disadvantages in accessing employment, education and healthcare, and building positive connections between businesses, the Armed Forces and local communities.
Supporting the Armed Forces in our community
Within our city, Shaping Portsmouth has expanded its Armed Forces Community Programme to go beyond raising awareness of the Covenant. It now includes initiatives to support not only veterans but also their families and dependents. The programme offers guidance on employment and other key aspects of civilian life while encouraging businesses to sign the Covenant as a vital step in enhancing opportunities for the Armed Forces Community.
Liquid Friday’s COO, Joe Taffurelli, shared the company’s enthusiasm for this initiative:
“I’m immensely proud to announce that we have signed the Armed Forces Covenant, solidifying our commitment to supporting the brave individuals who serve or have served and their families.
At Liquid Friday we deeply value the dedication, resilience and skills of our armed forces communities, and this partnership reflects our ongoing pledge to stand by them, champion their contributions and ensure they feel the support and appreciation they truly deserve.
By signing the Covenant, Liquid Friday joins a growing network of businesses committed to ensuring Armed Forces personnel and their families are treated with fairness and respect.
