Local businesses and community groups are being asked to support Armed Forces Day 2019 by pitching an offer, such as a gift or discount code, for armed forces personnel from 24 – 30 June.
Armed Forces Day (29 June 2019) allows City of York Council and local residents and businesses to give thanks for all the hard work and contributions made by the armed forces community.
The day of events, which will be held in York city centre, aims to further develop partnerships between local businesses and organisations, and members of the armed forces community.
Over 60 city-wide offers and discounts were listed during Armed Forces Day 2018, for a variety of city attractions, eateries, shops and travel networks.
Businesses are able to offer a week-long incentive throughout Armed Forces Week or a single-day deal on 29 June for Armed Forces Day.
