Good morning, Braintree!

The boys were back out again last night, working hard from 8:00 PM till late. We completed the final stretch of road that needed flags replaced: Rayne Road, from the junction of B&M down to the roundabout by the industrial estate.

We also collected 5 bags of litter off the street along the way!
This means the team has now replaced over 350+ flags across just a few outings, keeping to our commitment to you to ensure our town’s displays are maintained.
With that milestone reached, our stock is now significantly depleted and we urgently need to resupply. If you can make a donation—big or small—it all helps keep us going.

Good Evening Braintree,
You may be aware that our systems were triggered last night, and a number of the lads were out in the early hours patrolling around McDonald's... A couple of flags were affected but will be replaced shortly!
Flag Force wishes to publicly thank an individual who has supplied us with intel at great risk to themselves... We were able to have five members and a drone to capture the individuals and patrol the area into the very early hours of the morning, so the loss was minimised!
These are your flags we are protecting...

The "Flag Ninjas" are back at it tonight—and this time, they’ve escalated to a blade attached to the end of a pole. 🥷🚩

A quick reminder for the midnight crew: We hear and see everything. 👁️🔊

Nice try with the improvised pole blade,but you're far less subtle than you think. Everything is logged, recorded, and being watched.

Flag Force Braintree update ! 🇬🇧

Hi all the lads where out last night, our dedicated team was hard at work replacing the flags at two key local spots:

📍 The Astronomer Pub Roundabout

Both sites are now flying fresh, bright flags to start the day. A huge thank you to everyone in our community for the ongoing support—let’s keep Braintree looking its best! 🙌✨

🇬🇧 Flag Force Braintree Update! 🇬🇧
The team was back at it last night, working late into the evening and finishing well past 1:00 am (video coming soon!)

We’ve replaced all the remaining worn flags around McDonald's and along Millennium Way—including the ones on the bridge seen by thousands driving into Braintree on the A120 every single day!
With just a few left to swap out, Flag Force Braintree is once again keeping our pledge to keep our town looking its absolute best.

To top it off, we also collected 6+ bags of litter along the roadside (mainly fast-food packaging) to keep Braintree clean!
Thank you for all the support, We received from you all last night!

Flag Force Braintree have been working very hard over the past few weeks, often working late into the night, to replace all the flags we have up and in & around town.
This video show just some of those flags….. If you have already donated to our fund, thank you very much!
If you are thinking about doing so, this is a visualisation of where the money goes!
We still have a number of locations that need our attention which we have already organised to do...

Thank you to those of you who have already donated to the fund to buy new flags and replace the old ones around town!

We give our time and effort for free, but there are always costs involved in flagging the town.

There are two ways you can support us:

Join our team: Help us physically by climbing a ladder and putting flags up.

Make a donation: Each flag costs us £4.50 to place, which includes the flag, tie wrap, and delivery costs. A £10 donation allows us to replace and maintain two flags!

We currently have over 350 flags in and around Braintree and have committed to maintaining every single one—but we need your help.

Good morning, Braintree! 🇬🇧
The team was back at it late last night! We've fully replaced the flags starting by the church on South Street, around to Rayne Road, into town past B&M, and all the way through the double roundabouts. We also managed to collect 5 bags of litter along the way! 🧹
How you can help:
To keep these flags flying and buy new stock, we need a bit of community support. If you're able to make a small donation, please click the link to our fundraising page

Hopefully, you have noticed that we’ve been out over the past couple of weeks replacing all the flags in and around town. We have now exhausted our current stock levels of flags and need to restock.

This obviously comes at a cost, as we have decided to purchase higher-quality flags and use thicker cable ties to ensure they last longer. Every bit adds up, so if you can help us with a donation via the link below, we would be incredibly grateful.

We keep all receipts for anyone who wishes to see them; every penny raised goes directly toward purchasing flags and cable ties.

Any contribution—big or small—helps.

Thank you on behalf of Flagforce Braintree!
