Background

Fund free transport, rail and bus services for Serving Armed Forces Personnel 365 days a year to ensure families see their loved ones and alleviate high costs and pressures on service members.

Additional details

We believe serving Armed Forces personnel should receive free, year-round transport. Assignment orders routinely place service members far from their families and children. Over key leave periods like Christmas, some remain isolated in Single Living Accommodation because travel costs are unaffordable-even with a Forces Railcard. This isolation can severely impact mental health.
