Morgan Sindall Infrastructure will be supporting walkers during SSAFA, the UK Armed Forces charity's 13 Bridges Challenge on Armed Forces Day, 24th June.
Held annually on the last Sunday in June Armed Forces Day provides an opportunity for the public to demonstrate their support for the men and women who make up the Armed Forces community: from serving troops to Service families, veterans and cadets, and is commemorated with physical and virtual events across the United Kingdom. (Additional information is available on the official websites of the Royal Navy, British Army and Royal Air Force).
The 13 Bridges Challenge follows a 10-mile route through the Capital that includes Tower Bridge, London Bridge, the Palace of Westminster and Shakespeare's Globe theatre.
The challenge is open to all ages and abilities, and the route is entirely wheelchair accessible.
The walk is fully guided, with SSAFA team-leaders looking after participants every step of the way.
Logistics support and everything from generators to porta-loos will be supplied by Morgan Sindall Infrastructure and their supply chain partner, Econ Group.
Members of the Armed Forces are also on hand to give guidance and assistance to those who need it.
We are so grateful to Morgan Sindall Infrastructure for their continued support of 13 Bridges Challenge.
For the last two years they have provided the essential infrastructure, without which the event would not be possible.
We are so excited to have their support for the third year in a row, making the 2023 13 Bridges Challenge, the best one yet”
Sir Andrew Gregory, SSAFA Controller, says: “SSAFA’s 13 Bridges Challenge, held on Armed Forces day each year, is the main opportunity in London to thank servicemen and women for their selfless commitment to our nation.
"In 2022 over 350 people had a most enjoyable walk from the Tower of London to Putney, raising much needed funds that allow SSAFA to help our Armed Forces, veterans and their families in their times of need.
In 2023, we hope to have 1,000 participants; come and be one of them!"
SSAFA is still open to corporate sponsorship and teams for this event.
