Adam Slough, Event Director for the Battle Proms: “I am very proud to say that The Battle Proms raised £389,555.36 so far for the Armed Forces community, through audience donations and our own contributions from concert profits.  

“We look forward to working with SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity again this year. The energy and enthusiasm of their volunteers showed real passion for the charity, which was reflected in the £54,640.91 being raised this year alone.”

James Grant, Head of Corporate Fundraising & Events at SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity: “We are delighted to working with Battle Proms for a second year. Seeing families and friends come together for an uplifting event, which makes such a difference to the Forces family, is incredible.
