  • Help for Zeros?
    1 Help for Zeros? The Armed Forces Covenant According to the MOD, ‘the Armed Forces Covenant sets out the relationship between the Nation, the State and the Armed Forces. It recognises that the whole nation has a moral obligation to members of the Armed Forces and their families, and it establishes how they should expect to be treated. It exists to redress the disadvantages that the Armed Forces community faces in comparison to other citizens, and to recognise sacrifices made. In some cases this will require special consideration, especially for those who have given the most such as the injured and the bereaved. The principle behind the Covenant is that the Armed Forces Community should not face disadvantage because of its military experience. In some cases, such as the sick, injured or bereaved, this means giving special consideration to enable access to public or commercial services that civilians wouldn’t receive. The Covenant covers issues from housing and education to support after Service. It is crucial to the Government that it, and the nation, recognises the unique and immense sacrifices military personnel / veterans have made for their country. The Prime Minister emphasised this himself during his Christmas visit to Afghanistan when he announced a new Ministerial Committee to make sure that, at the highest level across Government, departments are sticking to the promises made in the Covenant .’ The Revolving Doors Agency 2012: “....People facing multiple needs and exclusions are in every community in Britain. They suffer several problems at the same time, have ineffective contact with services, and are living chaotic lives.

  • Aylesbury High School Prepare,Challenge & Inspire
    Feby 2019 Wil , wo’t o, wi y, wo’t o? Inertia is very tempting, and it’s normally easiest to say, “No”, or “Can’t be bothered” and staying firmly in one’s comfort zone, and under the real or metaphorical duvet. However, AHS students have been busy ‘seizing the day’ this half term and making the most of every opportunity as will be apparent when you read these pages. Our ears are still buzzing from two wonderful House Music evenings where the 23 Year 12 House Captains did a great job organising 201 performers to interpret the theme of Inspiring Women. Looking forward, a good number of students (167 at the last count) are travelling to Washington, Spain (2), Gibraltar, France and Italy over half term, so bon voyage to all of them. As will be evident from Highlights, students and staff alike have put in an enormous amount of effort this half term, both in and out of the classroom, so I hope everyone has a well-deserved break next week and, whether or not on a school trip, returns refreshed and ready to make the most of every opportunity that turns up at AHS - if in doubt, go for it!

  • From the Telegraph June 4, 2008 Lawrence Dallaglio Volunteers for Duty at Twickenham Again to Aid Help for Heroes
    From The Telegraph June 4, 2008 Lawrence Dallaglio volunteers for duty at Twickenham again to aid Help for Heroes By Brendan Gallagher Lawrence Dallaglio has absolutely no intention of doing a Frank Sinatra on us but the former England captain and World Cup winner looks set to lace his boots one more time at Twickenham. Dallaglio, less than 72 hours retired, was back at Twickenham yesterday lending his support for a special charity game at HQ on Sept 20 in aid of the injured and maimed British Servicemen who are returning from Iraq and Afghanistan in disturbing numbers. Initially pencilled in as non- playing captain and recruitment officer for the Help the Heroes XV, Dallaglio was on top table when his opposition non-playing captain Scott Gibbs, a firm friend from Lions days and Heroes: Scott Gibbs with Trooper Adam looking fit after recently Cocks, who was injured in Afghanistan and Lawrence Dallaglio training for a marathon, suddenly declared his intention of playing as well. The gauntlet having been thrown down, Dallaglio immediately offered his playing services to Phil de Glanville who will manage the Heroes XV. "Scotty Gibbs always plays to win so if Phil de Glanville needs me on the field as well I'm available," said Dallaglio. "I will also be on the phone later to see if Mr Hill and Mr Back are free and fancy a final run out together. "This is going to be a great day in which rugby people can honour all our unsung British heroes in the Services from all the theatres of war, some of whom pay a terrible price for their country.
