Underpass to Hillfield Park where Solihull Borough Council have worked with Veolia, RBL and “Art from A and K” to transfer a negative space into an inspiring public art space leading visitors to the beautiful Armed Forces Garden nearby. A privilege to support on Armed Forces Week

@amea_wm @AMEA_UK @ukmuslims4peace @charitywalk_uk Delighted you could make it. We’re glad you had a good day - well deserved for all the effort the volunteers put in every year 👏🤝

Thanks @WestMidsPoppy for arranging a day out in appreciating our wonderful volunteers from @AMEA_UK @ukmuslims4peace and @charitywalk_uk at National Memorial Arboretum. Enjoyed train ride through the memorial site, Army Band performances and delicious meals of our choice.

I had a great day in attending the official opening of the Armed Forces Community Garden in #Solihull honouring former and present military personnel. Also a special thanks to @BlytheMatters who is always generous in support and friendship by getting me an invitation.

Great to be at the Armed Forces Garden event in #Hillfieldpark today. Thanks to #centralfastresponse for their support and to #morrisonssolihull for their donation of water!

A glorious day in Solihull for the opening of the Armed Forces Community Garden in Hillfield Park. A wonderful event organised by Solihull Council, good to catch up with friends, colleagues, serving personnel and veterans.

@rebs671 @SSAFA Hi there, We're not aware of anything specifically on Christmas day, sorry. Not that there isn't, however, we rely on others telling us. There is a meal with @landaulimited this week (see below). Also contact your local RBL branch for anything they may be doing and also @AFVBC

Take that as a NO then @SSAFA @WestMidsPoppy

@WestMidsPoppy @SSAFA what’s on for veterans on Xmas day in the West Midlands for those of us spending it alone ???

@AndreaBonnell @BMTMCC @BMTVolunteering @thinktankmuseum What a fantastic project. You should all be very proud. What an achievement!

We did it, finished the year with bang! Thank you to everyone who came this evening and did their bit to help, I barely took any pics which is new for me! But Wayne was really chuffed with his first exhibit and the guys were so excited to see everyone loving their hard work ☺️

Next session is tomorrow at 7pm. #Poetry #ArmedForces

Our friends @SBitC_CCFC are offering FREE activity sessions to support men & women with their mental health. The sessions are open for people to turn up on the day. Sessions include Badminton, Football, Table Tennis, Basketball & more! Free Football tickets for new participants

The guys waved their motorbike off today as the Tech team took it from @BMTMCC to take it to @thinktankmuseum to be put on display. It was a bittersweet moment as it marked the beginning of the end of the project, but they're incredibly proud of what they've achieved and so am I
