Our Charities

Battle Back Golf is a registered UK charity (No. 1194555) founded in 2009 at the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre, Headley Court. Using golf as a vehicle for recovery, the charity supports wounded, injured and sick serving and veteran personnel through progressive golf education programmes, competitive opportunities and adventure challenges. Since its founding, Battle Back Golf has supported over 200 veterans, helping them rebuild confidence, physical ability and social connection through the sport. The charity operates UK-wide and is at the very heart of this world record attempt — using sport to prove what resilience can achieve.

Blesma, The Limbless Veterans, is one of the UK's oldest and most respected military charities, founded in 1932 following the First World War. The charity supports all limbless serving and ex-service men and women, as well as those who have lost the use of a limb, an eye or their sight during or after service. With welfare officers across the UK and a network of over 4,000 members, Blesma provides life-changing financial grants, rehabilitation activities, prosthetics support and emotional welfare to help veterans lead independent and fulfilling lives. Through sports, adventure activities and peer support, Blesma embodies the same spirit of resilience and determination that drives this world record challenge.

Founded by HRH Prince Harry in 2014, the Invictus Games Foundation uses the power of sport to inspire recovery, support rehabilitation and generate a wider understanding of the sacrifices made by wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women. The Invictus Games are an international adaptive multi-sport event where competitors from over 20 nations compete in sports including athletics, wheelchair basketball, cycling, rowing and more. The Foundation is proudly supporting the Battle Back Golf World Record Challenge.

NHS Charities Together is the national organisation representing the network of over 230 NHS charities across the United Kingdom. These charities exist to fund vital projects, services and support that go beyond what the NHS itself can provide — from cutting-edge medical equipment and research to mental health support, staff wellbeing programmes and patient recovery initiatives. During the COVID-19 pandemic, NHS Charities Together raised over £150 million in public donations to support NHS staff, volunteers and patients during one of the most challenging periods in the health service's history. By including NHS Charities Together as a beneficiary of this world record challenge, we are proud to give back to the organisation that has cared for so many of our veterans, families and communities.

The Royal British Legion is the UK's largest Armed Forces charity, founded in 1921 in the aftermath of the First World War. For over a century, the Legion has provided lifelong support to serving and ex-serving personnel, veterans and their families — offering financial assistance, welfare advice, employment support, housing help and mental health services. The Legion is perhaps best known for its annual Poppy Appeal, which raises tens of millions of pounds each year to fund its vital work. With a membership of over 100,000 and a network of branches across the UK and internationally, the Royal British Legion stands as a powerful voice for the Armed Forces community, campaigning tirelessly to ensure veterans receive the care, recognition and respect they deserve. We are honoured to support their mission through this world record challenge.
