Armed Forces Covenant
Supporting The Armed Forces Community
Organisations may choose to sign a voluntary pledge to demonstrate their support for the Armed Forces community and the principles of the Covenant. All organisations – public, private or voluntary, and small, medium or large – are welcome to sign the Covenant.

2019
Stirling Armed Forces Day
Stirling Highland Games supported the 2019 Armed Forces Day in Stirling by organising a tug o war event in the main arena at Kings Park.
Stirling Highland Games volunteers on the day were organised by Cat Cripps, committee member [2015 to 2022] and included SHG President Matt McGrandles [picture on right] organising the tug o war competition.
From this event, HRFCA personnel introduced our team to the AFC and was the catalyst to the future partnership now created between both organisations.
