North Northamptonshire Council supports Armed Forces Week
Your council23 June 2025
As part of Armed Forces Week (22 - 28 June) representatives from North Northamptonshire Council have come together to pay tribute to the women and men who protect the United Kingdom and those who came before them.
Earlier today, Armed Forces Day flags were raised at all four of the council offices, with a small ceremony taking place at the Thrapston office attended by representatives from across the council, alongside the Leader and Deputy Leader of North Northamptonshire Council.
Armed Forces Week is a chance for individuals and organisations to show support for all those who make up the Armed Forces community, from currently serving troops to service families, veterans and cadets. Celebrations begin on Monday 23 June when the Armed Forces Day flag is raised on buildings and landmarks across the country.
It was a distinct honour to attend today’s flag raising ceremony and to pay tribute to the outstanding men and women who serve within our Armed Forces.Cllr Martin Griffiths, Leader of North Northamptonshire Council
However, our recognition and support must extend beyond this occasion or a single commemorative week. The council is a proud member of the Armed Forces Covenant and we currently have the Employer Recognition Scheme Silver Award for our support towards the Armed Forces community. We are working towards the Gold Award which will further demonstrate our support, across the entire year, to the Armed Forces community in North Northamptonshire.
