2024 Welsh Veterans Awards – UK

In Association with The ABF Soldiers’ Charity and Sponsored by Vindico! The 2024 Welsh Veterans Awards will be held on the 3rd July at the fantastic 4 Vale Resort!

Recognising the Veterans in Business, Fitness, Sport and the wider Community, those reservists doing great things and the Companies that support the Military Community!

They will be supporting the ABF The Soldiers’ Charity and the Royal Navy Royal Marines Charity on the evening itself as the nominated charities!

In Wales, they have a huge number of highly successful Armed Forces Veterans that have made the transition from the Military to civilian life and they want to reward these veterans who have gone above and beyond and excelled in their relevant fields. They will act as role models for future service leavers. They want to find the people who even during the most difficult periods have excelled!

As such, they feel they should be given every opportunity to highlight their achievements and success, which is why the awards have been created.
