The Birmingham International Tattoo has supported Troop Aid for the past 8 years, firstly at the NIA in Birmingham and for the past 4 years it has been held at the National Exhibition Centre. This event is one of the biggest annual fundraisers for Troop Aid. We have a large merchandise stand in the entrance and Troop Aid benefit from a communal bucket collection at the end of both performances.

Troop Aid has been proud to be a charity partner of the Birmingham International Tattoo for the past eight years, and this partnership has become one of the charity’s most important and successful fundraising opportunities.

The event provides an excellent platform to raise both vital funds and awareness of the work Troop Aid carries out in support of injured service personnel and veterans.

Our Troop Aid stand is consistently one of the busiest at the show and offers a fantastic opportunity to engage with members of the public, share information about the charity and promote our cause. In addition to raising awareness, volunteers sell a range of Troop Aid promotional items, which contribute directly to our fundraising efforts. The charity also benefits from a percentage of programme sales, as well as a communal bucket collection held at the end of each performance, further enhancing the funds raised over the course of the event.

In June  2025  Troop Aid were invited to  take part in a large military event at the Pump Room Gardens in Leamington Spa. This was the first time we have celebrated Armed Forces Day in Leamington Spa,   Every year Troop Aid attend an event to mark Armed Forces Day, we have taken part in many events from Stirling in the Scotland to Guildford in the south and many in between.   

The Armed Forces Day Community Event celebrates and honours the contribution of the UK’s Armed Forces community — including currently serving personnel, veterans, reservists, cadets and their families. It’s part of Armed Forces Week, which runs in the lead-up to the main day with flag raisings and awareness activities.

The event features a range of family-friendly activities and displays, designed to be engaging for all ages. The event not only offers fun activities but also serves as a community celebration and official recognition of the armed forces’ sacrifices and service, fostering local pride and appreciation.

The Lancaster Bomber did 4 laps over the park and was impressive.

Big thank you to all who came to talk to us and bought some items from our stand.
