Working Together Award

Sponsored by The Forces in Mind Trust

About this Award…

An award to honour a group of people, team or organisation that has demonstrated an enduring commitment to a collaborative approach, engaging with each other and other external organisations to support the sector within the wider military community.

The judges will be looking for evidence of:

• An engaging story behind the people, team or organisation, why they came together, the identified needs they are meeting and quantified demands for the service.
• What challenges (both operational and personal) have been faced and how they have been overcome.
• The results for the armed forces community that have been achieved through the commitment and collaborative approach.
• The different or unique characteristics of the team work that can set standards of best practice across the sector and therefore makes this nomination special.

This award is suitable for a team.

For the last eight years, the Sussex and Kent & Medway Armed Forces Network (AFN) has made sure people with a Forces background can access support and get help on issues ranging from physical or mental health, housing or employment, welfare or social needs. NHS-led, and with a growing network of over 1000 Service Champions, its members include the MoD, police, local authorities, reservists, cadets and charities.

Network Team said: “We are ecstatic, we have been going for ten years now and it is a pleasure and a privilege to work with the Armed Forces Community.”
