On Saturday 25 June this year, people across the nation will be joining local celebrations to say “Thank You” to members of the Armed Forces community - including current personnel, Reserves, veterans, cadets and families - for their contribution to the nation.

Funding is available to anyone who wants to host an event - from city-wide parades and local fetes, to smaller neighbourhood get-togethers.

Organisers can bid for up to £10,000 to help make their event, large or small, a success.

To find out more about the application process and funding criteria, contact the Ministry of Defence Armed Forces Day team by email at armedforcesday-events@mod.uk or by telephone on 020 7807 0970.  Anyone interested in applying for funding should submit an application by 25 March 2016.
