Get involved

Virtual events are a fun way for the entire family and friends to get involved and raise money for the veterans we care for.

Here’s some exciting ideas to get you started:

Run, walk, or hop around your garden, balcony or local park (please remember to adhere to government guidelines for social distancing)
Host a virtual bake off and compete for the best showstopper cake
Host a console game-athon with your friends
Host a yoga or pilates party online
How many star jumps or keepy-uppies can you do in a row?
Complete a jigsaw puzzle marathon. How many can you complete in a set time?
Have a virtual danceathon or sing-along with your friends and family

The possibilities are endless and you can be as creative as you wish, just as long as you remember to complete them safely and within government guidelines.

Virtual rowing with Tim

Our Chairman, Major General Tim Tyler rowed the equivalent distance from his home in Hampshire, to our Surbiton Home, before ‘rowing’ between the Surbiton, High Wycombe and Solihull Homes. He covered a total distance of 156 miles and raised over £4,000.
