In 2010 we became recognized by the Charity Commission number 1136166 Being a charity will allow us to support many of our amputees and local veterans, plus smaller forces projects. We also hope to be able to fund research and development into Prosthetics for our wounded. We raise our funds through our challenges our aim being is to take members of the public into an unknown environment and Challenge themselves, find out what they are made of ? while still retaining the main quality needed a sense of humour. Whatever the Challenge brings for each Challenger the one thing they may each take away with them, is the fact that they will be tested.

The monies raised from these and all our fundraising is then channelled back into taking injured members on adventure and confidence building expeditions, they maybe injured but that is no reason to stop trying to achieve and many injured servicemen once the confidence is regained then go onto achieve far more than they may have achieved before being injured. The Sahara Challenge our Winter Challenge in Finland and now our UK Selection Challenge have become as well known as the regiments we served in for being hard but achievable. The main criteria for each is that a given distance has to be covered within a given time.The Sahara Challenge is 160Km/100 miles completed within 5 days. The winter challenge 60km in 5 days on snow shoes. The Selection is a distance 20 miles through the New Forest within 5 hours carrying a Bergen weighing 16 kgs, with all challenges we have tried to stay as close to Military ideals as possible and to what our forces experience. We don't do Sympathy
