PATRON: His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales
SUPPORTING OUR INJURED TROOPS
What we are doing
When injured troops return to the United Kingdom from the war zones they arrive back without their personal effects or clothing. The objective of TROOP AID is to supply the ‘basic essentials’ when service casualties return from serving their country overseas.
Our GRAB BAGS are currently being sent to the Field Hospital in Afghanistan, Cyprus and the Falkland Islands, The Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham plus the Ministry of Defence Hospital Units in Plymouth, Portsmouth and Frimley Park Hospital in Camberley.
Who we are
TROOP AID was founded in November 2006 by three ex servicemen as a result of a visit to Selly Oak Hospital’s Alexandra Wing in Birmingham. This is the home of the Defence Medical Welfare Services who are responsible for the welfare of all Armed Forces Personnel, male and female who have been injured during the conflict in Afghanistan and elsewhere.

Ride 4 the Wounded
8 to 15 July 2012
Raising funds for Troop Aid and Pilgrim Bandits charity. The bike and sidecar will be making its way from Inverness to Plymouth. It will be ridden by wounded soldiers to raise funds for others that have been injured. A number of events have been organised along the route to raise much needed funds. The bike will be escorted for stages of the journey by supporters on bikes including the mom of a seriously injured soldier. Sponsors of the event include The National Motorcycle Museum and Best Western Hotels.
The proposed route is: Inverness, Pitlochry, Dunfermline, Selkirk, Newcastle, York, Doncaster, Kegworth, Allesley, Birmingham, Swindon and Plymouth.
This is a big challenge for our injured service personnel so please show them your support by making a donation. Thank you.
