Reserves Day 2025

Reservists give up their spare time to serve in the Reserve Forces, balancing their civilian life with a military career to ensure that should their country require them, they would be ready to serve as part of the military.

The Reserve Forces make up approximately one sixth of our Armed Forces personnel and are integral to protecting the nation’s security at home and overseas, particularly providing capability in specialist areas such as medical and cyber.

Reservists are currently supporting operations in the UK and overseas. Reserves Day was created to highlight and recognise the valuable contribution Reservists make to our Armed Forces.

We are fortunate to employ a range of Reservists across the Workforce, and today we recognise them for their outstanding contribution to the country, and for the skills, experience and knowledge which they bring to the organisation.
