Have you got what it takes to conquer Britain’s oldest path? The ancient The Ridgeway has been walked for over 5,000 years.
Can you follow in the footsteps of our ancestor drovers and walk or run this stunning trail over 50km or 100km on the weekend of 11–12 July?

You’ll journey from Lewknor to the prehistoric Avebury Stone Circle, with a basecamp at Wantage. Choose to complete the challenge in one day or two — and there’s 20% off the registration fee until the end of May.

I’ve seen first-hand the issues the Armed Forces community are faced with. That's why
playing the SSAFA Lottery gives me a chance to help those suffering."

On Monday 20th of April 2026, Caseworker Alan Deans from Glasgow and Renfrewshire Branch of SSAFA popped along to the new veteran’s hub opened up by the Destiny Church in South Portland Street, Glasgow.

Adam McNee a veteran himself and member of the Destiny Church realised there was a need in the area and asked the church for permission to use their hub on the 3rd Monday of each month to offer a safe and welcoming space for veterans to meet, talk, have a brew and just enjoy the company.
Alan Deans, Volunteer Caseworker for SSAFA Glasgow and Renfrewshire Branch said “A great initiative where local veterans can access support and advice as well as access to training in the future.”

It is estimated that there are around 121,600 service children in the UK and every year thousands say goodbye to someone they love as they leave for deployment with some lasting days, weeks or months.
Being a military child is living with not knowing when mum, dad or caregiver will return home, it's dodgy wifi catch ups and milestones missed, but it's more than that — it’s a sense of pride in their loved one's job, it’s having friends from around the world and making new ones all the time. It’s surprise visits, it's community, it's belonging.

Being a military child means so many different things to so many children.

To honour Month of the Military Child, we asked children from across the UK, Cyprus and Brunei a few questions about what it means to them.
