CNTW provide mental health and disability services across the North of England. For most of the Armed Forces community, the Covenant is about removing disadvantage; so that they get the same access to services as the civilian community. Deputy Chief Executive at CNTW, James Duncan, said: We are honoured to sign the covenant and are proud to support our Armed Forces Community. As well as upholding our pledges within the covenant, we will now work with our staff who are Reservists, Cadet Force Adult Volunteers, Veterans and Military spouses/partners to set up a network so we can understand more about the needs of the armed forces community.
A WEBINAR showcasing the progress of the Redditch Military Service Tribunal Project in the First World War will take place next week. The project has worked with volunteers to transcribe the registers of the local Redditch Tribunal and research the lives of the men who were called for service. The volunteer team have also been working hard to research the men who applied for exemption both under the Derby Scheme and later Conscription at the Military Service Tribunals between 1915 and 1918. After the initial surge of interest in 1914, the numbers of men volunteering to fight in World War I dropped. The Derby Scheme of 1915 listed all the men who were both willing and eligible to fight, and in 1916 conscription was introduced to ‘call-up’ all men between 18 and 41 to fight.
