Carlisle United community trust receive gold award for Armed Forces work
The CST have been awarded the MoD's Employer Recognition Scheme Gold Award.
It is the highest accolade for employers supporting the Armed Forces Community, and sees the Community Sports Trust at Brunton Park receive the gold award for the first time, having been awarded bronze in 2018 and then silver last year.
The award recognises the CST's work with events such as their weekly sessions for veterans, and their involvement in this summer's Armed Forces Day at Brunton Park.
James Tose, the Community Sports Trust's chief executive, said: 'Everyone at Carlisle United Community Sports Trust is delighted to receive the Ministry of Defence Gold Employer Scheme Award in recognition of the services and support we offer veterans in our community.
"I am immensely proud that Teresa Mulholland and Ryan Godderidge are getting the reward for their hard work, having created a safe space for our service veterans here at Carlisle United."
Teresa Mulholland, the CST's director of governance, safeguarding, EDI and veterans co-ordinator, added: 'This accolade reflects the dedication of our team, partners, and especially the veterans we support. From Bronze in 2018, to Silver in 2024, and now Gold in 2025, it's been an incredible journey.
"Our weekly veteran sessions, monthly breakfasts, and collaboration on Armed Forces Day 2025 all demonstrate the strength of our provision. Thank you to the Ministry of Defence for recognising our commitment."
The CST hold sessions for veterans on Wednesdays mornings and Thursday evenings, offering exercise and social opportunities, as well as monthly breakfast meetings on Wednesdays.
'These initiatives help to assist veterans in transitioning to civilian life and foster community connections,' the CST say.

Trump announces new ‘reciprocal' tariff rates
President Trump announced tariff rates for dozens of countries Thursday that will take effect Aug. 7, potentially upending the global trade system. Trump signed an executive order that modified tariff rates for dozens of countries after he had twice delayed plans to implement 'reciprocal' tariffs on other nations. Tariff rates range from as high as 41 percent on goods from Syria to as low as 10 percent, the baseline established for all imports. 'Some trading partners have agreed to, or are on the verge of agreeing to, meaningful trade and security commitments with the United States, thus signaling their sincere intentions to permanently remedy the trade barriers … and to align with the United States on economic and national security matters,' the executive order stated. 'Other trading partners, despite having engaged in negotiations, have offered terms that, in my judgment, do not sufficiently address imbalances in our trading relationship or have failed to align sufficiently with the United States on economic and national-security matters,' it continues. The executive order states that all imports will face a 10 percent tariff. The order goes into effect Aug. 7. Some nations have negotiated separate trade agreements to lock in tariff rates. For example, Indonesia and Thailand agreed to a 19 percent tariff, South Korea and Japan negotiated deals that included a 15 percent tariff and the United Kingdom struck a deal for a 10 percent tariff. Certain other nations that have not negotiated deals will face higher rates. Trump announced he was hitting Brazil with a 50 percent tariff, in part citing the country's prosecution of former President Jair Bolsonaro over his efforts to remain in power after losing an election. Trump has also announced Canada will face a 35 percent tariff, citing frustrations with the flow of fentanyl into the United States. Other tariff rates established in Thursday's executive order include Laos (40 percent), Switzerland (39 percent), Iraq (35 percent), South Africa (30 percent), India (25 percent), Algeria (30 percent), Moldova (25 percent) and Nicaragua (18 percent). Many other countries are facing a 15 percent tariff. The timing and severity of tariffs on other nations have been shifting targets since Trump took office, after vowing on the campaign trail to aggressively impose duties on imports. He has reportedly threatened tariffs on other nations, only to back off or delay their imposition. The president announced 'reciprocal' tariffs on dozens of other countries April 2. But a week later, he lowered those rates to 10 percent for 90 days as markets reacted negatively, giving time for negotiations. The 90-day window was set to expire in early July, only for Trump to extend the deadline to Aug. 1. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

NEW YORK, Aug. 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C., a nationally recognized stockholder rights law firm, announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Reckitt Benckiser Group plc ('Reckitt' or the 'Company') (OTC:RBGLY) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired Reckitt securities between January 13, 2021, and July 28, 2024, both dates inclusive (the 'Class Period'). Investors have until August 4, 2025 to apply to the Court to be appointed as lead plaintiff in the lawsuit. Click here to participate in the action. Reckitt is a United Kingdom-based, global consumer goods company. To date, over 500 state and federal products liability lawsuits have been filed against Reckitt and its competitor, Abbott Laboratories ('Abbott'), claiming that they failed to adequately warn that premature infants consuming cow milk-based formulas, such as Reckitt's Enfamil and Abbott's Similac, have an increased risk of developing necrotizing enterocolitis ('NEC'), a life-threatening intestinal disease that affects premature or low birth weight infants. The Class Action alleges that, during the Class Period, Defendants made misleading statements and omissions regarding the Company's business, financial condition, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to warn investors and consumers: (1) that preterm infants were at an increased risk of developing NEC by consuming Reckitt's cow's milk-based formula, Enfamil; (2) of the attendant impact on Reckitt's sales of Enfamil and Reckitt's exposure to legal claims; and (3) as a result of the above, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. If you purchased or otherwise acquired Reckitt shares and suffered a loss, are a long-term stockholder, have information, would like to learn more about these claims, or have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Brandon Walker or Marion Passmore by email at [email protected], telephone at (212) 355-4648, or by filling out this contact form.
