Created by Prince Harry, the Invictus Games is an international adaptive multi-sport event. It also helps to generate a wider understanding and respect for the Armed Forces personnel injured in service.
The first Invictus Games was held in London in 2014 and have subsequently been held in Orlando, Toronto and Sydney. The next Games will take place in The Hague in May 2020. The UK Delegation is delivered by The Ministry of Defence, The Royal British Legion and Help for Heroes.
The Invictus UK Trials are currently taking place in Sheffield, from 22-26 July. The trials will see 350 wounded, injured or sick military serving and ex-serving personnel compete in nine sports including athletics, wheelchair rugby and swimming. Those who compete in the Trials can put themselves forward for consideration to become part of Team UK for the Invictus Games The Hague 2020.
To have them by my side at the Games is my chance to make them proud again. I wouldn’t be here without them.

This includes coordinating travel, accommodation and tickets for those attending, as well as providing welfare support.
We know that behind every team member, there are so many people who have helped get them to the start line. A life-changing injury or illness has a huge impact on both the individual and those around them – and we make sure they can be there to cheer them on every step of the way.
Meeting people through Invictus who are in similar situations was amazing. It’s given my husband and I the best support network we could have asked for.
