Armed Forces Day is an annual opportunity to thank the Armed Forces community for their work and to learn more about life in the Armed Forces. This year, Armed Forces Day is on Saturday 29 June and Armed Forces Week starts on Monday 24 June. 

This event comes in the same month that we have marked the 80th anniversary of the D-Day Landings. Many residents living in care homes across the country will have lived through this poignant period, making their own sacrifices; whether they had family members serving, or if they themselves served in the Armed Forces or as part of the Home Front.

Armed Forces Day is an opportunity to show your support for the men and women who make up the Armed Forces community: from currently serving personnel to Service families, veterans and cadets.
