This Sunday at Ashill Village Fete Thetford IP25 7AX, something truly special is happening
and it’s all thanks to our incredible supporter Tammy and team who has stepped forward to make her Bodneys Bears & Biscuits stall come to life for Military vs Cancer.

Their kindness, their time, their effort… it means the world to us.
People like them are the heartbeat of this charity
the reason we can keep helping families, veterans, serving personnel and loved ones facing the toughest battles of their lives.

We are genuinely, deeply grateful.

On Sunday 6th September they’ll be proudly selling their handmade bears, biscuits, along with smiles, and all the warmth that makes this community so strong.
If you’re in the area ,even just passing through please stop by.
Show them your support.
See the beautiful work they’ve put in.
Help us continue making a difference where it matters most.

Kindness keeps this charity moving forward.
Your support changes lives.
And we couldn’t do any of it without people like them… and people like you. 💛🐻

Royal Leeds Armouries

Proud to attend the Armed Forces Covenant and Employer Recognition Scheme event at Leeds Armouries with Military vs Cancer.
A brilliant evening speaking with like‑minded people who genuinely care about supporting our Armed Forces community.

Being in a room full of organisations who get it - who value service, sacrifice, and the families behind it — is a reminder of how powerful this commitment really is.

If your organisation hasn’t yet signed the Armed Forces Covenant, now is the perfect time.
It’s free, it’s straightforward, and it shows your support in a meaningful, practical way.
And once you’ve signed, working towards the Employer Recognition Scheme (Bronze, Silver, Gold) is a fantastic way to turn that promise into action.

Our Armed Forces community deserves employers who stand with them.
Let’s keep building that network — one signature, one pledge, one organisation at a time.

Aiyanna has done something absolutely incredible today
her first skydive !!
a full tandem jump from 14,000ft, and she smashed it.
Not just brave… genuinely amazing. The kind of courage that makes you stop and think, “Wow, she really did that.”

She took on this massive challenge for two causes that mean everything to her: Military Vs Cancer and the Royal British Legion.
That’s who she is all heart, all strength, and willing to push herself to make a difference.

We couldn’t be prouder of her .
She’s shown bravery, compassion, and determination in one unbelievable leap.
What an achievement. What an inspiration. What an incredible young lady. . 🪂💗
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts x
