Good fun… but giving qualifications that help get lives back on track
“To aid in the recovery and rehabilitation of those affected by military operations by providing opportunities through Motorsport and the Automotive Industry”
2018 Mission Motorsport Invitational at Goodwood
Have been engaged through the charity’s work since 2012. Over 6000 man days of varied and exciting sporting opportunities help to access those ‘harder to reach’ and provide an exceptional vocational assessment and developmental tool.
From big industry to small , 200 wounded MM beneficiaries have successfully accessed employment through the charity’s training and placement schemes. Over 2000 veterans have found work in total. Employment - full or part time - is an incredibly important part of a sustainable and constructive future for our veterans and their families.
Despite circumstances that would prove a barrier to many, MM veterans continue to demonstrate that they are well suited to the automotive industry, and that their skills are both recognised and rewarded. MM alumni are happily filling important roles in Formula 1, Formula E, World Rally Championship teams as well as with leading automotive manufacturers.
