Armed Forces Covenant Members Supporting Armed Forces Day

Seasafe, Rouse, Smokin Jacks and Impulse Consulting have all gone one step further with their support for the Island's Armed Forces community, by sponsoring some of the attractions at this year’s Isle of Wight Armed Forces Day.

Seasafe, which has achieved the prestigious Gold status, is ensuring that marching veterans, reservists and cadets attending are squared away with some food and refreshments.

Smokin Jacks have dug deep to provide some children’s entertainment while Rouse Intelligent Financial Planning are accommodating the marching bands.

Impulse Consulting are also onboard, helping to facilitate more for youngsters though that element is hush hush for now!

Ian Dore, Isle of Wight Armed Forces Day organiser, said:

"These signatories stepped up to the plate, within 24 hours of receiving the call to action.

"The Covenant contains an element about supporting Armed Forces Day, as part of a signatory’s commitment.

"It’s safe to say that all those mentioned above, have certainly ticked that box. For those attending, they will be very grateful.”

Isle of Wight Armed Forces Day, on Sunday June 30, features the Royal Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows, and the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.

It also features a host of static interactive displays and an enviable live stage line up, coupled with the traditional marching parade and marching bands.

Special emphasise has been put on commemorating the 80th anniversary of D-Day. A full line up and running order is expected over the next few weeks.

Details will be published online.
