Armed Forces Day

Saturday 30th June

 
Armed Forces Day raises public awareness of the contribution made to our country by those who serve and have served in Her Majesty's Armed Forces. Secondly it gives the nation an oppurtunity to Show your Support for the men and women who make up the Armed Forces community, 
 
Across the country people are getting involved, not just on the day, but in the week leading up to it too. Communities hold local events and business show their support, and thousands of pounds are raised for UK Service Charities. 
 
Each year BLESMA is invited to attend many events, and unfortunatly as a small team we are not able to attend every event. If you are a BLESMA member or supporter and would like to represent us, man a stall or hold a collection at any of these events please email Sarah@blesma.org
 
If you would like your event listed here, or would like some fundraising materials please contact Sarah and we will be happy to support you in your fundraising.
