Today, 70 years after fighting in the Korean War came to an end, we held a service of Remembrance at Horse Guards Parade, London.
We remember the 60,000 British service personnel who served between 1950-53, and those who lost their lives. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.
The work we do with veterans is not just offering courses for those with life-changing injury or challenges with mental health. We also run fun weeks for the families, so that veterans can bring their kids to HorseBack to have a ball with the ponies, chickens, dogs and sheep.
The Armed Forces Covenant is a promise by the nation ensuring that those who serve or who have served in the armed forces, and their families, are treated fairly.

One of our beneficiaries, Anthony Lock, was told 13 years ago he'd never walk again. He has a crippling fear of heights and has fought his own mental battles as a veteran. But yesterday he skied down one of the highest peaks in N. America. Absolutely astonishing, we're so proud.
