Story

At RBLI we help veterans and their families in their time of need and support them to live the most independent life possible. Since 1919 we have provided crucial accommodation, welfare and employment support to injured veterans and people with disabilities. Right now for every person we can help, there's one we cant. That's why we need people like you; with more funding, we can grow our village, support more people who need us and help them to find their purpose again.

We believe people come alive again in the telling of their stories, so we are using this January to tell stories of the heroes of Dunkirk. This is not an ordinary step challenge, this challenge has symbolic significance: your 10,000 steps, over 31 days, will total 155 miles, which is the distance travelled by our Tommy's during the fighting retreat to Dunkirk.

We have three different challenges available depending on your experience and abilities to ensure that no man gets left behind this January.
