Celebrating Forces Families Awards shine a light on inspirational Military families

London, UK – April 26th, 2024 – The Celebrating Forces Families Awards, held on Friday, 26th April, at the Leonardo Royal Hotel London City, recognised the incredible strength, dedication, and achievements of the UK’s Armed Forces families. This heartwarming event, now in its third year and the only one of its kind within the Armed Forces Network, celebrates the invaluable support these families provide to serving members and the entire military community.

The evening commenced with a moving performance by a combined choir featuring Britains' Got Talent Semi-Finalists Voices of Armed Forces Children Choir and the Military Wives Choirs, performing a brand-new song written specifically for the occasion. Actor and SSAFA Ambassador Antony Cotton MBE co-presented the awards alongside Forces News presenter Sian Grzeszczyk, and their heartfelt and empathetic delivery brought the inspiring stories of the finalists to life.

Birmingham and the West Midlands is the perfect place to explore on two wheels, with countless cycle routes through both countryside and city to suit all levels.

Whether you're a casual cyclist or a seasoned pro, our region offers a variety of routes to suit all levels, from Harborne and Digbeth to Solihull and Sandwell.

Togetherall - Maternal Mental Health month

Maternal mental health can be hard to talk about.

“The biggest takeaway I would want new moms to think about in terms of their mental health is that there is power and comfort in connecting with others. It’s okay to reach out for support even if you are nervous about opening up.” Togetherall Senior Clinician.

If you need support or more information, here are a few resources that could help. You can also join the @Togetherall community today, FREE to anyone in the UK Military, Veterans & Family members aged 16+ at togetherall.com, talk to others who understand.
