Maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle is an important part of service life and that includes those soldiers, sailors and airmen who have been seriously injured.

Through Battle Back, a tri-service organisation, seriously injured service personnel are encouraged to participate in sport and adventurous training as part of their rehabilitation process and beyond.

The list of activities and opportunities is extensive - water skiing, paragliding, athletics and skiing are just a few.

 

Battle Back was launched in 2008. It is not a charity - it is an MOD initiative based at DMRC Headley Court near Epsom. It exists to ensure that the seriously injured have access to the same opportunities in sport and adventurous training that are currently available to the able bodied.

Battle Back's work makes a huge difference in lives, both physically, mentally and emotionally.
