Armed Forced Day – Sunday 30th June

BBV will be taking part in the Armed Forces Day in the Market Place in Salisbury on Sunday 30 June. We will be setting up a stall selling the notebooks made by students who have attended courses with BBV in order to raise funding for the charity. So, please, if you can, come and support us on the day and tell your friends and relations to come and buy a notebook! It will also be an opportunity to meet and chat to some of the BBV team. See you there!

Wiltshire Community Foundation Supports Bound by Veterans

Great news from Wiltshire Community Foundation who have agreed a generous award to Bound by Veterans for tuition, spread over the next three years. We are extremely grateful for this award which will enable us to continue to provide the excellent teaching on our courses.

Wiltshire Community Foundation is an independent charity. They exist to tackle disadvantage and strengthen local communities by inspiring philanthropy and supporting the voluntary sector.

Their mission is to maximise the impact of charitable activity by connecting people, information and resources. Here at Bound by Veterans we are most fortunate to have the support from Wiltshire Community Foundation.

Our Principal Tutor, Mylyn McColl, enters the Blenheim Triathlon in support of Bound by Veterans

The event took place at Blenheim Palace in the first weekend of June and comprised three events: a 750m swim in the lake, followed by a 19.8km bike ride around the estate and finishing with a 5.4km run. Mylyn successfully completed the course in under 3 hours but admitted she was not one of the fastest entrants! A splendid effort, Mylyn, congratulations. Anyone wishing to support Mylyn and make a donation for her efforts can do so through the link given here to
