Take on the tommy 10,000 step challenge
This challenge is the perfect opportunity to start your 2024 on a positive note – you can start any day in the month of January. We challenge you to take on 10,000 steps a day for 31 days.
But of course, this is no ordinary step challenge. This challenge has symbolic significance: their 10,000 steps, over 31 days, totalled approximately 155 miles. This was the distance travelled by our Tommies during the fighting retreat to Dunkirk.

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 this year, 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
10,000 steps a day | 31 Days | Following in the steps of our fearless soldiers









WHO IS TOMMY?
The origins of the term Tommy is widely disputed, the most common interpretation is that the term comes from Tommy Atkins, which is slang for a common soldier in the British Army. It is known to have been used as early as 1743, however the term Tommy was chosen as a generic name by the war office in 1815. Legend has it that in WW1 German soldiers would call out “Tommy” across no man’s land if they wanted to speak to a British soldier. Established in 1919, Royal British Legion Industries (RBLI) helped and supported many wounded, injured and sick ex-Forces personnel returning from war and continued ever since expanding its range of services through the funds it raises through charitable donations. RBLI Tommy represents military services and all those that have served for our country.
