A message from our Chief Executive, Colonel Leona Barr-Jones DL VR
As we approach the end of another remarkable year, I want to thank everyone connected with East Anglia RFCA for your outstanding dedication throughout 2025. Whether you are an Association Member, engaged employer, Reservist, veteran, volunteer, cadet—or a supporter—your commitment to “Connecting Defence with Society” across our region has been inspiring.
Alongside our fantastic team in HQ and across our counties, you have helped us grasp opportunities and weathered challenges during the past 12 months, strengthening the Armed Forces community across East Anglia. While we begin drawing up plans for the delivery of outcomes identified in the Strategic Defence Review, we continue to support our Reservists, veterans, volunteers and young people in achieving their goals.
Together, our efforts have helped secure the Nation, set young people up for lifelong success and deepen community ties within the six counties we serve, making a real difference to the lives of many thousands.
The December holidays offer a welcome chance to celebrate our achievements, spend precious time with loved ones, and energise ourselves for the year ahead. I hope this time is peaceful and joyous for you, however you choose to mark it.
Wishing you all a very happy Christmas and a bright, successful New Year, with warm regards from everyone at East Anglia RFCA.
