Today is Armed Forces Day, 24th June. Armed Forces Day is a day to show support for serving men and women, their families, veterans and cadets. Events are being held up and down the county and you can find out more here. 

The Armed Forces Covenant 

Whilst today is an opportunity for the public to show their support, the Government, businesses and communities support members and ex-members of the forces through the Armed Forces Covenant. The Armed Forces Covenant is a pledge to acknowledge and understand that those who serve or who have served in the armed forces should be treated with fairness and respect. 

The Armed Forces Compensation Scheme 

The Armed Forces Compensation Scheme also exists to compensate members and ex-members who have sustained an injury or illness due to service. It is a non-fault based scheme and compensates for a who range of injures are included in the scheme including both physical injuries, psychological injuries and injuries that are specific to service, such as blast injuries. 

You can contact one of our specialist team for advice on making an AFCS claim for compensation

If you are not attending an event today you can join in and show your support on social media by posting a photo or yourself or your friends, family or colleagues saluting. You can submit your images on twitter @ArmedForcesDay, commenting on their facebook page or emailing directly to @email

And don’t forget to use the hashtag #SaluteOurForces

This team is really well organised, professional and thorough.My family have now used the Conveyancing service, both as Buyer and Seller, numerous times and have been extremely impressed and satisfied. They use simple and effective tools for great communication so you know the status at anytime and don't have to chase to find out. I would recommend Winston Solicitors without hesitation.

I have just purchased my first property and used Winston Solicitors after being recommended by my Mortgage Advisor. I dealt with Samantha and Michelle who were amazing throughout the whole journey. They kept me informed of all steps throughout and responded to any queries in a timely manner. They also had an app where you could see progress and what the next steps would be which helped a lot for someone who didn’t know what to do. From putting my offer in to completed took around 8 weeks (no chain). Would highly recommend and I will definitely use them again in the future.

Winston Solicitors were absolutely amazing! This was our second time moving house with Leasa and Julie and we genuinely cannot imagine the moving process without them! They were so friendly, kept us up to date throughout the whole process (without any legal jargon!) and kept communication open up and down the chain to ensure we had a quick and easy move (with 5 houses in the chain this was no mean feat!) Leasa and Julie went above and beyond, were always accessible via email and telephone, and there was never any need to “chase” because they were both so on top of everything! Words can’t express our gratitude for all the support they gave us in helping us move to our dream home. Thank you both so much!

Winston Solicitors have acted for me on many occasions for the conveyancing of property purchases and remortgages. I can't recommend Leasa Foster and her team enough. They make the transactions run very smoothly. They are clear with the information they provide to me, they are clear with the information they expect from me, and they are very thorough.
