“I am delighted that Forward Assist have been honoured with The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service 2020, the highest award a voluntary group can receive in the UK.  This organisation is a nationally recognised charity for military veterans and whose local activities have been showcased as far afield as the USA.  My warmest congratulations to all those who have played a part in achieving this honour.”

 Forward Assist Patron, Mary Glindon MP said:

“This is a richly deserved
tribute to years of hard work by Forward Assist in one of the
country’s main military recruitment regions. Those who have served our
country so well deserve support in civvy street, which is sometimes
very difficult for them.”
