Cenotaph Parade 2025
Over 40 NARPO members participated in the London Cenotaph Parade on Remembrance Sunday, joining thousands in a moving tribute to those who have served in the armed forces. The parade, a key part of the national Remembrance ceremonies, saw veterans and eligible participants march down Whitehall past the Cenotaph, observing long held traditions of respect and commemoration. A member from West Kent had the honour of serving as parade marshal, leading the procession. The event emphasised both remembrance and community, allowing participants to pay tribute, reflect, and connect with fellow service members. |

NARPO Attends Federation Conference
NARPO was proud to host a stand at this year’s Police Federation Conference, offering an important opportunity to engage directly with serving officers. Throughout the event, Deputy CEO Steve Wilcock and Marketing Manger Sophie Maxwell met attendees to discuss the wide range of support, guidance, and benefits available through NARPO, from wellbeing resources to retirement planning and continued representation. Our presence at the conference reinforces our commitment to supporting officers at every stage of their careers and ensuring they are prepared for a positive future beyond service. |
