Celebrating veterans’ commitment to the community
An annual awards event that celebrates community support delivered by the ex-military is now accepting nominations.
The Veteran Recognition Awards and Information Fair will be held on Tuesday, 2 June in Canterbury. The event combines a networking event for ex-military along with an awards session that celebrates veteran support of the community. The awards are open to veterans from across Bexley, Bromley, Kent and Medway.
More than a dozen information stands providing a range of support available to ex-military, reservists and their adult family members will be in the information zone at the event, along with a coffee station providing complimentary refreshments for ticket holders. The climax to the event will be the awards with ex-military from every corner of the county honoured.
