🏆 LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD 🏆

The highest honour of the Northern Ireland Veteran Awards.

Could you nominate someone to follow in the footsteps of Maj Philip Morrison MBE BEM, our 2025 recipient, and previous honourees including Alan McDade, Glynn Hanna and other exceptional individuals whose dedication has left a lasting mark on the Armed Forces community?

The Lifetime Achievement Award recognises a truly outstanding individual whose contribution spans decades.

This is for someone who has devoted their life to service.

Someone whose leadership, commitment and sacrifice have made a profound difference to veterans, serving personnel, families and communities across Northern Ireland and beyond.

Their impact is measured not only in what they have achieved, but in the lives they have changed.

Their legacy is one of integrity, resilience and unwavering dedication.

This is the ultimate recognition for a lifetime of service and achievement.
