ORGANISATIONS in the region are pledging their support to the Armed Forces. Armed Forces Day takes place on the last Saturday each June, and this year is taking place on June 26. Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust (CNTW) is marking the event by celebrating the recent launch of a new Staff Network for veterans and other employees who have links with the armed forces. The Network aims to ensure the Trust provides sufficient support to staff who are connected with the armed forces. The Trust said it will meet regularly, and be open to staff who are part of the reserves or cadets, who have served within any branch of the armed forces, and those with family or partners who are currently serving or veterans.
