Mission Motorsport

It is great news to have Mission Motorsport as one of our major national charities to be supported at the Royal Deeside Speed Festival in August.

 

Mission Motorsport is the Forces' Motorsport Charity, whose motto is “Race Retrain Recover” is MoD's competent authority for motor sport as a recovery activity, and is a Royal Foundation (the charitable trust of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry) Endeavour Fund initiative.

A Service Charity and a member of the Confederation of Service Charities, Mission Motorsport has an award winning collaborative model of working with government and the other service charities. It is funded by Help For Heroes, The Royal British Legion, and Walking with the Wounded, as well as by industry partners and independent fundraising.

A City and Guilds training provider, Mission Motorsport's Training Wing delivers Level 3 Diploma courses and full apprenticeships enabling service leavers to bridge the gap between military service and second careers as civilians, beyond injury.

The charity's dedicated career managers have placed over 50 Wounded, Injured and Sick service leavers into employment since the Invictus Games in September 2014. Mission Motorsport are part of the delivery mechanism for Invictus Games 2016 in Orlando, as well as in the training, preparation and support to Team GB.

 

Mission Motorsport is run by veterans, serving personnel and motorsport professionals for servicemen and veterans with the aim to;

 

RACE – RETRAIN – RECOVER

 

“To aid in the recovery and rehabilitation of those affected by military operations by providing opportunities through Motorsport”.

This charity benefits from the skills, products and platforms of the global reach of motorsport, and the underlying automotive industry and helps to highlight the strengths and depth of skills of a service career both to the individual, and to external parties.
