Awards President, General the Lord Dannatt GCB, CBE, MC, DL organised a private reception, attended by Vice-President Debra Allcock-Tyler CEO, the Directory of Social Change, Lt General Richard Nugee CB, CVO, CBE, Chief of Defence People, sponsors, nominators, judges and members of the Armed Forces community, where recognition was paid for the outstanding achievements of Finalists shortlisted from a record number of award nominations.

My 3 key messages, that I would like to share, from last night’s event:

1. Community. We couldn’t bring this together without the nominators, nominees, finalists, judges, sponsors, our team, and advocates from Charities, Business’ and the Ministry of Defence. Adding to the narrative about the brilliance of our people and their families. Together championing success.

2. Soldiering On Awards is more than a ceremony, and we have a programme of support for 3, 6 and 12 months to continue to elevate the life models and their achievements. It’s great to see so many people get involved with mentoring, promoting, doing business, sponsorship, helping and sharing over the last 12 months.

3. Two of the thirteen award categories are public votes, so please get voting. It is so important that we, as both military and civilians, get behind the positivity of the Armed Forces Community. I for one am so proud to be part the community and be part of the British Armed Forces.

Lord Dannatt said:

“The Soldiering On Awards attract an outstanding number and calibre of nominations as this year has clearly demonstrated. To reach the shortlist of Category Finalist is a truly outstanding achievement. We salute you all! I would also like to pay a special tribute to the often unsung heroes, the nominators. Without them recognising the great work other people do, and putting the time into writing nominations, we would never know about them!”

Awards Patron, the Rt Hon Earl Howe PC said:

“The ethos of the military is do not leave anyone behind and make sure you are working for the good of the team. We are intent on sticking with this ethos as the essence of the Soldiering On Awards and I am delighted to see the results, represented by the 41 outstanding Finalists we are celebrating here.”

XFE CEO and Soldiering On Awards Co-chair Lt Col Ren Kapur MBE said:

“To reach Finalists stage at the Soldiering On Awards is an outstanding achievement. The positive ripple effect from all the different contributions the 2020 Finalists have made to the military community gives so many people the inspiration to soldier-on and these remarkable people deserve full recognition. There are always so many deserving cases and this year has been no different.”
