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

Social Media 

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

We used Leasa for both sale and purchase and cannot recommend enough! Everything was dealt with promptly and barely ever had to pick up the phone as we constantly received updates as things progressed. Will use again in the future!

We recently worked with Winston Solicitors on a buy-to-let purchase and found them to be efficient and easy to work with. They communicated clearly and kept things moving without unnecessary complications. Overall, a smooth experience, and we’d be happy to work with them again.

I would highly recommend winston solicitors. Samantha and Michelle completed our sale/purchase quickly and efficiently. When I called I could get straight through to them, when I emailed I got a response with in hours. They made the process stress free. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent. James was professional, efficient and a pleasure to deal with. He understood the situation, helped me navigate a resolution whilst ensuring I was part of the decision making when it was needed. I would have no hesitation in recommending James.

Whilst I can't comment on Winstons as a whole, my dealings with Leasa and Julie were only positive. Leasa especially was always available at the end at end of an email and was always helpful and efficient. Would definitely recommend.
