Battleback Challenge Centre

The Royal British Legion has purpose built a recovery centre in Lilleshall

The Royal Britsh Legion has committed £30 million to provide and operate the Battle Back Centre, an adaptive sports and outdoor facility based in Lilleshall in the West Midlands. 

With its focus on what you can do rather than what you can't, the Centre will help around 800 injured Army, Navy and RAF personnel every year.

Undertaking and overcoming challenges has been shown to enhance recovery. The Battle Back Centre will provide adaptive sports and adventurous training opportunities with world-class coaching. The range of sports and outdoor activities will include climbing, watersports, wheelchair basketball, cycle racing, sledge hockey and archery.

Before being wounded in battle these young men and women were at the peak of their physical fitness. An injury can make them feel like their life has stopped, as everything they hold dear has been taken from them.

By rebuilding confidence, and unlocking potential the Battle Back Centre will prove nothing is impossible for these remarkable men and women.
