Armed Forces Day 2022

Armed Forces Day

Every year North Kesteven District Council proudly supports Armed Forces Day with a range of initiatives aimed at building a better understanding and strengthening the relationship between the community and our Armed Forces, past, present and future.

We are always keen to involve businesses and encourage the creation of striking window displays and promoting any discounts you offer to Forces personnel, their families and Veterans either during the week or throughout the year.

To give a head start on what we’re planning, dates and deadlines we hope this leaflet will help you to identify ways through which you can get involved this Summer.

  • Wednesday 8th June: Closing date for Shop Window Competition entries
  • Wednesday 15th June: Shop Window Competition Judging
  • Monday 20th June: Flag Raising and Veterans’ Lunch

If you would like to take part in the window competition and/or the discount promotion, please email armedforces@n-kesteven.gov.uk. The deadline is Wednesday 8th June.
