Armed Forces Day will be on Saturday 27 June 2015. It's an opportunity to do two things. Firstly, to raise 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 opportunity to Show Your Support for the men and women who make up the Armed Forces community: from currently serving troops to Service families and from veterans to cadets.
Across the country people are getting involved: communities hold local events and business show their support.
Funding is available to assist with Armed Forces Day festivities, from tea parties to parades. Anyone can submit an application.
You can apply for 50% of your event cost, up to a limit of £10,000. Previous years have seen bids from a few hundred pounds for a street party to thousands of pounds to support larger events.
