The UK's VALOUR network of veteran support centres will expand from 14 to 34 organisations, the Ministry of Defence announced on 5 November 2026. Twenty-one lead organisations are receiving £13,260,580 in second-round development funding and are expected to launch by the beginning of 2027, joining the first 14 centres announced in March 2026. Total funding granted stands at £26,516,357, part of a £50m rollout.

VALOUR, overseen by a headquarters in the Office for Veterans' Affairs within the Ministry of Defence, is intended to give veterans and their families easier access to healthcare, jobs and housing, alongside a helpline and GOV.UK. Veterans Minister Calvin Bailey visited Citizens Advice Rushmoor in Aldershot on Monday 2 November, before Remembrance Sunday, to meet staff and local veterans.

The government says an estimated one million veterans and their families will benefit, while VALOUR is designed to reach the UK's estimated two million veterans. The recipients include The Poppy Factory, the Sir Oswald Stoll Foundation, several councils and veterans charities across the UK. The department presents the expansion as part of its 10-year Veterans Strategy.
