Armed Forces Community at Tesco

As the biggest employer of service leavers in the UK, we want to give former and current members of the armed forces – and their families – the support they need. As well as providing guidance on everything from transition from military life to career development, the Armed Forces network also champions those who volunteer as reservists.

Tesco once again pledged its commitment to supporting serving Armed Forces personnel, veterans and their families by re-signing the Armed Forces Covenant at RAF High Wycombe in November 2025.

This important pledge was witnessed by representatives from the Tesco Armed Forces Network, the Armed Forces and Help for Heroes at an event to celebrate Tesco’s continued support.

The signing comes as the Tesco Armed Forces Network announces its new three-year partnership with military charity Help For Heroes. This important step recognises Tesco’s long-standing dedication to veterans, reservists and their families. 

As the leading private sector employer of veterans, Tesco was proud to be the first retailer to sign the Covenant in 2014, publicly committing to supporting serving personnel, veterans, reservists and their families.
