Hounds for Heroes Marks Armed Forces Day 2026

Today, on Armed Forces Day, Hounds for Heroes is proud to join communities across the UK in recognising the dedication, commitment and sacrifice of those who serve, or have served, in HM Armed Forces.

As Armed Forces Week draws to a close, it has been inspiring to see individuals, organisations, families and communities come together to celebrate and support the Armed Forces community.

Behind every member of the Armed Forces are families, friends and loved ones whose support can make all the difference. They share in the realities of service life, from time apart and changing circumstances to the challenges that can come with military service. For many, that support continues through injury, illness, rehabilitation and recovery, standing shoulder to shoulder every step of the way.

At Hounds for Heroes, we see the impact of that support every day. We see it in the families, friends and communities who stand alongside the physically disabled serving and former members of HM Armed Forces and the UK Emergency Services we support, helping to make life-changing assistance dog partnerships possible.

Today, we celebrate everyone who makes up the Armed Forces community; those who serve, those who have served, and the families, friends and communities who stand beside them.
