The battleback programme is tri-service iniative which uses sport, among other things in the aftercare of wounded service personnel in order to aid their rehabilitation and return to a more normal active life.
The battleback golf programme came into effect in 2009 and is run by Major Tristan Crew and Officer Zeno Gomes. The use of sports and outdoor activities has a proven track record to aid succesful physical and psychological rehabilitation, providing the foundation for the development of a positive self image and outlook on life, and the battleback golf scheme certainly seems to have started to achieve that on an ongoing process.
Battle Back is a military initiative designed to introduce injured service personnel to sports and adventurous training activities. Battle Back supports a number of different activities including; sailing, diving, skiing, paragliding and competitive Olympic events.
