A representative will lay a wreath on behalf of University Hospitals Tees to show respect for those who have fallen.
Everyone is welcome to attend.
Armed Forces coffee events
Our veteran and armed forces working group have launched free armed forces coffee mornings which are open to all members of the armed forces community and their families.
They are an opportunity to build a local network, find out more about support available in the local area and to shape how our hospital group can support the armed forces community going forward.
The events are also open to staff across University Hospitals Tees who have served or who are currently serving.
The next event will be held:
- Tuesday 28 October, 1 to 3pm, Cafe hub, Friarage Hospital, Northallerton, DL6 1JG
All future events will be listed on the South Tees Hospitals or North Tees and Hartlepool websites.
