The Armed Forces Weekend is brought to you by a team of volunteers. It is a completely free event which is entirely funded by sponsorship and donations. We support our armed forces community not for a weekend, but throughout the year offering facilities within our hive as a one-stop-shop where our community comes together to receive direct support provided by professional services under one roof.
Your Donations are Greatly Appreciated
If you enjoy the weekend and would like to help ensure it continues as an annual event by making a small donation, the team would hugely appreciate it.
