Local communities can show their support for Service personnel past and present this summer, with up to £10,000 available to help fund an Armed Forces Day celebration in their local area.
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.
