🎉🇬🇧 WE’VE DONE IT — THIS YEAR’S TOTAL IS IN! 🇬🇧🎉

A huge £10,849 raised through Armed Forces T-Shirt Day 2026 — and this year’s fundraising has helped take us another massive step closer to our goal of providing a home for homeless veterans aboard Flossie Will’um. 🛶❤️

A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who got involved this year — every T-shirt worn, selfie shared, donation made, festival ticket bought and post shared, has helped.

You are all absolutely amazing. ❤️

🏆❤️ WHAT AN ACHIEVEMENT! ❤️🏆

We have some very proud news to share…

We were nominated for the Fundraiser of the Year category in the BBC Radio Gloucestershire Make a Difference Awards — and somehow, we made it all the way to the final four! 🎉

We didn’t take home the overall award, but we were absolutely thrilled to receive a Highly Commended award. 🥹👏

And honestly? We couldn’t be prouder.

What started back in 2022 as Rob’s idea has grown into something so much bigger than any of us could have imagined. Together, you have helped us raise around £30,000 to date — and we’re nowhere near finished yet! ❤️

Every donation.
Every T-shirt bought.
Every event attended.
Every raffle ticket.
Every share, like and kind word.

You have all played a part in making Rob’s dream a reality.

This award belongs to every single person who has supported us along the way. You believed in what we were trying to achieve, and you helped us keep going.

So from the bottom of our hearts… THANK YOU. ❤️

Here’s to Rob’s dream, our incredible team, and the next chapter.

£30,000 raised — and counting! 🚀🇬🇧

💂Stand Easy... and Thank You 💂‍♀️

As the dust settles on another incredible Armed Forces T-Shirt Day, we've spent the last few days reflecting on what this amazing community has achieved.

Before we announce the final fundraising total (and trust us... it's worth waiting for! 😉), we simply wanted to say...

Thank you.

Thank you to every veteran who proudly wore their military T-shirt.

Thank you to every serving member of the Armed Forces.

Thank you to every family member, friend and supporter who joined in.

Thank you to everyone who bought one of our official Armed Forces T-Shirt Day T-shirts.

Thank you to everyone who donated, shared a post, tagged a friend, took a selfie, recorded a video or helped spread the word.

Thank you to all the partners who donated their time and money so we could maximise the amount raised at this year's At E@se Festival.

Every single one of you has played a part.

What started as one simple idea—to wear a military T-shirt and donate £5—has grown into something far bigger than we could ever have imagined.

It's become a community.

A movement.

A reminder that the Armed Forces family always looks after its own.

This year's campaign has been nothing short of incredible, and we genuinely couldn't have done it without every one of you.

So, from all of us at Armed Forces T-Shirt Day...

Thank you for standing with us.

Now...

👀 Keep watching this page.

The final total will be revealed very soon...
..and we think you're going to be incredibly proud of what you've all achieved together.

The festival was the celebration. Armed Forces T-Shirt Day was the mission. Together, you've made a difference.
