Banbury’s MP is available to support those applying
Local community groups are being encouraged by Banbury’s MP, Sean Woodcock, to bid for funding to host Armed Forces Day events this summer.
The Government has made up to £500,000 available to support celebrations marking Armed Forces Week, aimed at strengthening the connection between society and the military.
Community events can include picnics, parades, musical performances and activities led by local military units and veterans’ charities.
Applications for funding close on March 30.
Mr Woodcock said: “Banbury and North Oxfordshire proudly backs our armed forces community. I’m delighted this Labour government are funding these vital community events and I will proudly back a bid so our whole community can come together.”
“I look forward to celebrating alongside our service personnel in June.”
Armed Forces Day this year is on June 27.
