Service Leavers Events (SLE) are a way to formally thank Service Leavers (SL) and their invited guests for their Service and their Families’ support of their Service.
The Royal Navy recognises that the family/spouse/partner of a SL also endure significant disruption caused by Service life and wishes to thank them by inviting them to a Service Leavers’ Reception.
All SLE will be hosted by a 2* with a drinks-reception-style event:
- Welcome with tea and coffee
- Presentation of Valedictory Certificates/Letters (optional)
- Personal citations for those who wish to receive them
- Light buffet and refreshments
- Networking opportunities with: RNR and RISTT teams (for those considering continued Service)
- Veteran support organisations such as RNRMC, RNBT, SSAFA, RBL, and the Royal Naval Association
Eligibility:
To attend, you must be in resettlement or preparing to leave the Service.
(Please note: those leaving under SNLR or CDT circumstances are not eligible.)
