Join Team BFBS

How do you fancy being part of a virtual, 7,635 mile, global journey travelling from BFBS Brunei to BFBS Canada?

We're inviting you to be part of our BFBS Mile-a-thon to raise funds for the BFBS Big Salute which supports military charities who make a difference to the armed forces community. Between Thursday 26th September and Thursday 3rd October 2024 we're inviting you to run, row, walk, cycle, swim or something unique to you to clock up the miles and help reach our target.

Whether you're serving, at school, a veteran or a listener of BFBS, the mile-a-thon is open for all to be part of and you can complete as little or as much you possibly can. From the 26th of September you can log your daily mileage online throughout the week, and on Thursday 3rd October we'll compile all the miles completed for our BFBS Big Salute Day on air, celebrate your achievements and fundraising efforts and hear from the military charities your money goes towards.

Get what you need

Make sure you have everything you need such as a poster to tell everyone what you're doing, bunting to add a little sparkle to your excellent efforts and, for the youngsters (or young at heart) why not grab a celebratory certificate? After all, you should be proud of what you're doing!

Download what you need below and if you have any issues then just drop us an email to [email protected].

Donating to the Big Salute

Every penny and pound you raise makes a huge difference to fantastic charities who are making a difference within the military community. This allows them to ensure that those who need it, will receive the care and support they need whether it be mental health, physical health or anything else in between - your support really matters!

You can donate directly through our JustGiving page or download a sponsorship form below and, from all of us, thank you for your help.

Every mile matters, so make sure you tell us about efforts. You can download mileage log sheets and make sure you log everything using the form below. If you have an issue with the form then don't worry, you can email us at [email protected].
