As we prepare for the 75th Anniversary of the D-Day and Normandy 75 Campaign, AWARD is proud to announce its continuing support of The Spirit of Normandy Trust and the jointly commissioned Normandy 75 Badge to help raise funds and awareness of the important and historical event as a legacy for the next generation.
Over the years, AWARD has raised over £90,000 for the Normandy Veterans and the Trust from the commemorative Normandy Campaign Medal and related items.
The exclusive, thoughtfully designed badge, depicts the colours of the services with the 5 bold white stars representing the five landing beaches and identifying the Allied forces' vehicles and tanks. At its centre is the striking Normandy 1944 crest. It is featured on a selection of products to help raise vital funds for the Spirit of Normandy Trust. View Normandy 75 Collection

D-Day Concert Relocated after Protests
The concert planned to be performed on Sword Beach on 6th June 2019 has been relocated thanks to a successful petition. The concert received fierce protest and opposition from veterans who objected to the location and date of the concert which coincided with the 75th Anniversary of the D-Day Landings, where many relatives of veterans involved in the Normandy Landings are planning to visit to mark the anniversary.
Thank you to all who signed the petition which resulted in the concert being moved to a more fitting location.

National Service Day 2018
It was a pleasure to sponsor and support the sixteenth National Service Day event at the National Arboretum this year. The National Service Memorial and National Service Day were the brainchild of Gerald Rose, Chairman of the National Service Foundation, who campaigned tirelessly and was finally rewarded for his endavours in 2003. The then Prime Mninister, Tony Blair, confirmed that the last Sunday in June of each year was to be an official day of remembrance and reminiscence for all conscripts of National Service: National Service Day. It has always been a great pleasure for us at AWARD to work with and support Gerald who has retired from the role of organising it this year. His legacy to acknowledge the vital contribution of those who served National Service is one we can all be grateful for. .

The Big Cheese
We always love to see how creative customers are with personalisation on items purchased from AWARD. Our personalised cheese boards have been extremely popular with customers who have been inventive with their own 'cheesy' quotes or have chosen a miilitary badge or emblem to make a distinguished gift. Sharing boards are so popular at the moment especially for outdoor dining on balmy sunny days.
