The hard work, dedication and efforts of our armed forces to keep us safe in the UK and across the globe deserves the biggest thank you!

We also marked Reserves Day – which took place on Wednesday 26 June – with a special celebration last Friday. Did you know we have 45 reservists in our service who give up their spare time to train and serve alongside the regular forces? The training, skills and experiences gained in the reserve forces are invaluable, especially in challenging situations and environments.

The celebration offered insight into these skills, including leadership, teamwork, communication and decision making, as well as the vital role reservists play within the armed forces.

They really are true heroes!
