AWARDS NIGHT CELEBRATING UK ARMED FORCES FAMILIES

Why do armed forces families need celebrating?

Armed forces families play a crucial, often unseen role in supporting service members and the broader forces community. Their sacrifices are significant: frequent relocations, long periods of separation, and the constant challenge of adapting to the uncertainties and stresses of military life.

These families demonstrate resilience and strength whilst maintaining stability at home while their loved ones are away. The Celebrating Forces Families Awards acknowledges their dedication, the emotional and practical hardships they endure, and their contribution to our commnity.

We also aim to gain a greater public understanding and appreciation of the military’s human dimension beyond uniformed personnel. Recognising these families promotes a sense of belonging and support within the community, reinforcing the important role they play.
