On 8th May 1945, the nation united to celebrate the end of World War Two in Europe. Known as Victory in Europe Day, or VE Day, it marked the surrender of Nazi Germany and Allied victory in Europe.
Millions gathered in streets across the country to sing, dance, and rejoice after six years of war. Some raised a glass in remembrance of fallen loved ones. Others, just home from battle, navigated wounds, both visible and hidden.
80 years later, NEXT will join the nation to celebrate the 80th Anniversary of VE Day. We’ll remember the sacrifices made and those who helped bring peace to the nation.
NEXT is proud to stand together with Help For Heroes, supporting the incredible work they do for our veterans and their families. We also proudly support our own veterans and reservists at NEXT, recognising their valuable contributions and personal stories.
