LJMU shortlisted for Armed Forces Covenant Award 2025

Liverpool John Moores University has been shortlisted in the Most Outstanding Public Sector category for the Covenant Awards 2025 - a one-off celebration marking 25 years since the inception of the modern Armed Forces Covenant.

LJMU was nominated by a member of the public and shortlisted for its work with and in support of the Armed Forces community and for achieving the Gold Award in the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme. 

The winner will be announced at the Services Awards on Thursday 3 July at the Stadium of Light, Sunderland.

The Services Awards happen each summer and are produced by the National Armed Forces & Emergency Services Events (NAFESE) team, celebrating the best in service from armed to emergency to volunteer services. The 2025 event takes on a special addition in the form of the Covenant Awards 2025. 

The Covenant Awards features three categories - Most Outstanding Charity/CIC, Most Outstanding Private Sector, and Most Outstanding Public Sector - and is designed to showcase companies who have gone the extra mile during the 25 years since the Armed Forces Covenant was first mentioned.

Each year you think you have heard it all in terms of heroism and selflessness, when it comes to people in the services and each year, you become equally as humbled and astounded at the sheer level of the most professional of people…it really is a proud moment for everyone, when the awards come round each year.

Event Director for NAFESE, Mal Robinson
