Lifting the Decks is an event designed to support the mental wellness of the Armed Forces community and each year they hold a 10k event in Lyneham, Wiltshire. This year they have invited the Royal British Legion to have runners fundraising for the event! You can get round 10k however you like, run, walk cycle, scoot...the list is endless! However you do it you will be supporting our Armed Forces community.
Registration with us is free however we have set a fundraising target of £80. Children can also register for the event.
We are Team Poppy Appeal, proudly taking part in Lifting the Decks on 16 May to support the Royal British Legion and the Armed Forces community.
Every day, the Royal British Legion stands alongside serving personnel, veterans, and their families from the Royal Navy, Royal Marines, British Army, RAF and Reserves. Whether someone is coping with injury, struggling to make ends meet, or simply needs someone in their corner, the RBL is there — ensuring their service and sacrifice are never forgotten.
Right now, more Armed Forces families are facing hardship than ever before. The ongoing cost-of-living crisis means many veterans and serving families are reaching out to us in moments of real crisis — for urgent financial help, mental health support, housing guidance, and much more.
