Our Purpose

We are committed to improving the lived experience of the Armed Forces community by harnessing the positive impact of physical activity, challenge and sport. Our funding awards are focussed on enhancing health and wellbeing, support recovery, and create equal opportunity - driven by a belief in excellence, inclusion and the power of shared endeavour.

Why It Matters

Our Armed Forces do a great deal on our behalf. To protect our interests and way of life, they are often required to operate in extreme and high-risk environments, both at home and overseas. When called upon, they serve with courage, commitment and professionalism.

Team Forces exists to give something back - by enabling collective support that shows the nation’s gratitude in a tangible and meaningful way, benefiting serving personnel, veterans and their families.

What We Do

We proudly support serving personnel, veterans, families, community organisations, and individuals undertaking exceptional and inspiring activities. By aligning resources across these areas and prioritising initiatives with wider social benefit, we contribute to improving health, wellbeing and the operational effectiveness of the UK Armed Forces.
