It was a recent honour and privilege for FCD to be involved in a Battle Back Golf programme event at Belton Park, raising awareness and support for the programme that aids rehabilitation for serving and veteran personnel. The event was a huge success and enjoyed by all and overall, over £3,000 was raised!

It was also wonderful to see the flypast from a Hurricane from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.

Founded at the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre, Headley Court in 2009, the Battle Back Golf programme is a military initiative designed to utilise the sport of golf to support the wounded, injured and sick (WIS). Over the years the programme has proved successful in supplementing the physical, psychological and cognitive rehabilitation of over 200 serving and veteran personnel.

The programme offers golfing education programmes, competitive opportunities and golf equipment which all aim to engage with the members through golf and enhance their social integration.
