And just like that…. my year as Legal Counsellor, British Embassy Washington has drawn to a close. I owe a huge thank you to three groups of people/a person. First, my excellent colleagues in the Embassy who represent the UK’s values and interests with such professionalism and dedication. Second, my superb counterparts in the US government, the diplomatic circuit, academia and business. It’s been a privilege to work with you. Stay in touch y’all! Third, my partner, who supported me in it all, put up with distance for too long and moved across an ocean and back again. It’s good to be home with you.

During the NFL/TAPS U.K. Experience, TAPS Vice President of Sports & Entertainment, Diana Roday Hosford, and British Army Major Karen Tait MBE, CEO of Families’ Activity Breaks (FAB) Charity, signed a formal memorandum of understanding, marking a major milestone in our collaboration. Since 2019, TAPS and FAB have worked closely to support the surviving families of military fallen from both the U.S. and the U.K. This partnership has provided invaluable opportunities through programs such as the TAPS National Seminar & Good Grief Camp, FAB Camps across England, Glasgow Rangers events in Scotland, the NFL UK Experience, and most recently, USA Basketball games in London. We are excited to continue this vital work, ensuring more families can heal and find community through these shared experiences. Together, we can do so much.
