Celebrating Armed Forces Reserves Day 2025

26th June 2025

 

Part of Armed Forces Week, Reserves Day is being celebrated on Wednesday 25th June.

As an Armed Forces Covenant Gold Award holder we strongly advocate and support past present, and future members of the armed forces, be it full time or reserve.

Reservists give up their spare time to serve in the Reserve Forces, balancing their civilian life with a military career to ensure that should their country require them, they would be ready to serve as part of the military. Reservists are currently supporting operations worldwide.

The Reserve Forces make up approximately one sixth of our Armed Forces personnel and as such are integral to protecting the nation’s security at home and overseas, particularly providing capability in specialist areas such as medical and cyber.

However, the contribution they make to our Armed Forces often goes unrecognised. As such an annual Reserves Day was created to highlight and recognise the valuable contribution Reservists make to our Armed Forces.

On Reserves Day, Reservists wear their uniform in their civilian life.

Life in the Reserves

The Reserve forces play a crucial role in national security from countering security threats, peacekeeping and humanitarian efforts abroad to supporting communities at home.

One week you could be at your desk, the next, deploying thousands of miles across the world to uphold global peace and security.
