Carly teamed up with the Invictus Games Choir to release ‘Liberty’, with sales from the single and video going to Help For Heroes, its success knocking Drake off the top spot of the iTunes video chart. Since then, Carly has worked tirelessly to support armed forces related charities by singing for The Chelsea Pensioners, performing outside Kings Cross station on Help for Heroes’ Transport For London Collection Day, in Debenhams during the Oxford Street Christmas lights switch on and at The Games of Remembrance in her hometown of Nottingham. Carly was honored to recently be announced as Soldiering On Awards’ Ambassador Of Arts.

The Soldiering On Awards recognise the outstanding achievements of those who have served their country, and the diverse people and groups who work together in support of the Armed Forces Community. Its aim is to encourage support for this remarkable community by celebrating the achievements of the people, teams and businesses within it.

Reflecting on her work with the Soldiering On Awards this year Carly said: “Since performing at the Soldiering On Awards in April I have been welcomed into a community that I feel so proud and privileged to be involved with. I’ve met some of the most incredible people, shared some unforgettable moments, and been humbled and inspired by their spirit, resilience and achievements.”
