Visit to RAF Halton: Future for Heroes (F4H) / The Brathay Trust – Recruit Graduation Parade

The CEO of F4H and The Brathay Trust’s Senior Learning and Development Consultant had the honour of being invited to RAF Halton to witness the latest recruit Graduation Parade. It was a moving and humbling experience, bringing back memories from May 1983 for this particular individual! It was a privilege to share the obvious pride and joy being shown by so many Mums, Dads, friends and families as their sons and daughters began their careers in the RAF. Many thanks to Station Commander RAF Halton for his hospitality.

Injured Veteran Completes 250 Mile Motorbike Challenge

Last weekend former Welsh Guardsman and Iraq veteran Allan Roberts took part in the Welsh 2 Day Enduro, a 250-mile off-road dirt-biking race in North Wales, the biggest event of its kind in the UK.

Allan is also a double amputee and before the race said: “This is a tough challenge for me. As you can imagine, racing a motorbike off-road with no legs is interesting!” Not only did he complete the event, Allan managed to come 55th out of the 118 competitors – a truly amazing achievement!
