Story

Cycling Through History: Supporting Our Veterans in the Fields of Flanders

In the hallowed grounds where history echoes through time, DIO and Industry partners are embarking on a profound journey this September. We're cycling through the Fields of Flanders, past the iconic Menin Gate, through historic Ypres and many other historical WW1 sites along the way – not just as a challenge, but as a tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

The Veterans' Foundation stands as one of Britain's fastest-growing military charities, working tirelessly across the UK to support our armed forces family. Through their vital grant programme, they provide essential funding to hundreds of smaller charities, ensuring that help reaches those who served our nation when they need it most.

Our cycle route traces the footsteps of brave souls who fought in these very fields over a century ago. As we pedal through landscapes once scarred by conflict but now peaceful, we'll pause at memorials and cemeteries, remembering those who gave everything for our tomorrow.

Every mile we cycle, every pound we raise, contributes to the Veterans' Foundation's mission of changing lives. From mental health support to housing assistance, from rehabilitation programmes to family aid – your donation helps create real, lasting change for our veterans.

Join us in this meaningful journey. Your support will honour both those who fell in foreign fields and those who continue to serve today. Together, we can ensure that the spirit of remembrance lives on while actively helping today's veterans build better lives.

Please donate what you can – every contribution, no matter how small, makes a difference in supporting our armed forces community.

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old..."
