A new VALOUR-recognised centre is set to open in Stevenage in January 2027, helping Armed Forces veterans and their families find support with housing, health, wellbeing, welfare, employment and skills. The Stevenage hub will provide central support alongside outreach services across North Hertfordshire, Welwyn Hatfield, East Hertfordshire and Broxbourne. Thousands of veterans and family members are expected to benefit following a successful application for development funding led by Stevenage Borough Council. The council developed the proposal with The Muster Point, the Royal British Legion and other local and regional partners. The award forms part of VALOUR, a £50 million UK-wide government support system intended to make it easier for veterans and their families to find appropriate help. The centre will work alongside existing statutory, non-statutory and third-sector services rather than replace them. It will help build links between organisations locally, regionally and nationally so people can navigate available support more easily. Veterans and their families will also be able to seek help through the Valour Website or MOD Veterans Services, which offers a UK-wide telephone helpline and case management support regardless of whether they live near a recognised centre.
