Mission Motorsport

Description

 The Forces' Motorsport Charity, which has a motto of “Race, Retrain, Recover” is MoD's competent authority for motor sport as a recovery activity, and is a Royal Foundation (the charitable trust of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge) initiative.   

 A Service Charity and a member of the Confederation of Service Charities, Mission Motorsport has an award-winning collaborative model of working with government and the other service charities.   

As part of the MoD's Career Transition Partnership, the charity helps those leaving the military to find employment in the automotive industry. A newly appointed IMI training centre, Mission Motorsport's Training Wing delivers Industry recognised Electric Vehicle qualifications in addition to Level 3 Diploma courses and full apprenticeships enabling service leavers to bridge the gap between military service and second careers as civilians, beyond injury.   

Approaching its 10th year of operations, Mission Motorsport has delivered more than 6,000 days of sport for 2000 wounded, injured or sick beneficiaries, leading to over 400 work placements and over 200 jobs. The Charity’s veteran employment programs have paved the way for over 2000 veterans into employment in the Automotive Industry.
