The Reserve Forces' and Cadets' Association for Greater London
Lord Lieutenant’s & GL RFCA Awards 2021 - Full Winners list
On Thursday 30th September, 54 London Reservists and Cadet Force Adult Volunteers (CFAVs) were recognised by the Lord Lieutenant for Greater London for outstanding service to London’s Reserve and Cadet units.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic we were unable to celebrate the annual Spring Awards in person in both March 2020 and March 2021. To celebrate our return to face to face engagements the awards was renamed ‘Lord Lieutenant’s & GL RFCA Awards’ providing the opportunity to celebrate the hard work of our volunteers and support to the fight against coronavirus throughout the past 18 months of the pandemic. It will return to its usual format and name in Spring of 2022.
The long awaited awards celebrate and recognise the hard work of some our most dedicated and longest serving members of the Armed Forces community in the Greater London region, with awards for CFAVs, Reserves and Cadets. Sir Ken Olisa OBE, the Lord Lieutenant for Greater London, presented the awards at an Army Reserve Training Centre in Handel Street, Bloomsbury, London.
