RBLI’s Tommy’s Race to Victory is well underway with the team currently on their way to Newcastle.
For those of you that haven’t seen #TeamTommy are currently on an 800 mile relay between our social enterprises, Scotland’s Bravest Manufacturing Company, in Erskine and Britain’s Bravest Manufacturing Company, in Kent.
On route, the team is stopping at cities and key military locations, presenting specially-made VE Day Tommy figures, made by injured veterans working in RBLI’s factories, to notable members of the local military community.
Our specially chosen team of seven, which includes RBLI’s chief executive Steve Sherry CMG OBE, are carrying a specially-made silver Tommy soldier figure, as a sign of national unity in the run up to the anniversary of the end of the war in Europe and are aiming to bring Tommy home to Aylesford on VE Day itself – 8th May.
You can find out more about the relay, donate, and track #TeamTommy via our website.
