IN JANUARY 2021 OVER 2,000 MEMBERS OF THE TOMMY FAMILY TOOK PART IN THE 12,000 STEP CHALLENGE
What is the 12k Step Challenge?
A virtual challenge designed to get people moving and the perfect opportunity to start 2022 on a positive note! The target? 12,000 steps a day for 31 days!
The challenge was open to everyone with the only requirement that you do your best and cheer on your team members! Now, 12,000 steps may sound like a lot, but you may be surprised at just how many steps you do already without even thinking about it. So many of you took it a step further…12,000 steps further in fact and helped veterans in need!
Team Tommy truly rose to the occasion. Displaying an incredible sense of commitment and dedication, no one got left behind and huge distances were covered. Take a look below to see just how well they did…

why support us?
” I AM VERY CONSCIOUS THAT OUR VETERANS, PARTICULARLY FROM RECENT OPERATIONS, MANY OF WHOM WERE YOUNG WHEN THEY EXPERIENCED LIFE-CHANGING INJURIES, WILL NEED OUR SUPPORT FOR DECADES TO COME.
WE NEED TO BE THERE FOR THEM”
General Sir Gordon Messenger KCB DSO* OBE, Centenary Village Campaign Patron
The Impact
Every pound raised from Tommy’s 10,000 Step Challenge helped to support the UK’s most vulnerable veterans by allowing RBLI to provide safe homes and the support they need to get back on their feet. RBLI has ambitious plans to expand the outstanding facilities, care and welfare services we provide. The major expansion, scheduled for completion in 2024, will vastly increase the unique mix of homes for veterans and their families. When complete, our expanded Village will mean RBLI can support an additional 600 veterans annually for the next 100 years
