Council of Voluntary welfare work

The MoU recognises the invaluable welfare work provided by religious and philanthropic voluntary organisations and permits some trading to take place in ‘centres’ on MoD premises to help sustain the work where voluntary contributions alone would be insufficient.  The MoU lays down the basis for establishing ‘centres’ and specifies parameters for operating to avoid overlap and conflict with Catering, Retail and Leisure (CRL) contractors.  Provision of support facilities, including accommodation, rent and rates are covered along arrangements for local liaison and integration into the Service community on the UK mainland and overseas garrisons.
