Our charity is delighted to unveil Babcock International Group (Babcock), the defence company as headline sponsor for our flagship fundraising event, Operation Bletchley.
Each year people from across the world take part in the physical and mental challenge this event offers, raising vital funds to support soldiers, veterans and their immediate families. Operation Bletchley is one of the UK’s most innovative events. Giving participants the opportunity to tackle the fiendish codes, explore the great outdoors and learn more about our incredible heroes from the Second World War.
We are committed to engaging closely with companies who support our work. In 2023 we announced that Babcock would be the headline sponsor for two of our key fundraising events, the Cateran Yomp and Operation Bletchley. Babcock is an ethical company with a long and impressive record of support for the Armed Forces and we are looking forward to working with them to serve the needs of the Army family.
