Over the years, the Service Leavers and Veterans we have supported, have pledged their support to BuildForce in many ways. In response, we have launched Project Give Back (click here to donate), to allow you to raise money for BuildForce on your next adventure or sporting challenge. We are raising money for our Mental Health and Suicide Prevention programme, so thank you to all those who support the programme and raise money for us, we are honoured to be your military partner of choice.
Recently, Caroline Logan ran the New Forest Marathon in September, raising awareness of our Wellbeing & Sports programme.
Jack Riley Smith, Operations Manager, Amey, ran the Southampton Half Marathon in September to raise funds for our Mental Health & Suicide Awareness programme.
Congratulations to you both. An incredible achievement. Please contact us at info@buildforce.org.uk if you are interested in supporting us further.
