Peterborough and Cambridgeshire councils recognised for supporting Armed Forces community
The prestigious initiative was launched in 2014 by the Prime Minister to recognise and reward UK employers for their support and commitment.
The city council employs a number of staff who have connections to the Armed Forces. The authority also has an Armed Forces Board which organises several supportive events such as Armed Forces Day, a ‘Blitz Bash’ and various celebrations for veterans.
