The Covenant 25 Military Ball and Covenant 25 National Awards
​
The National Armed Forces & Emergency Services Events (NAFESE) Team is delighted to announce the launch of the Covenant 25 Awards, marking 25 years since the modern Armed Forces Covenant was introduced.
The term “Covenant” was first coined in the MOD booklet - Soldiering - The Military Covenant - in April 2000 and 25 years later over 12,000 companies have pledged their commitment and support to the UK’s Armed Forces.
As part of NAFESE’s silver anniversary Covenant celebrations, a lavish reception will take place on April 2 at the Victory Services Club, London to mark this milestone and will feature the Covenant ‘25 National Awards as part of the proceedings from 1930 onwards.
