FAQs

You can complete your challenge at any time until the 1 September. How and what you do is completely up to you, which means the event can be adjusted to your own personal challenge – you can learn any skill that is new to you.

There is no official fundraising target for the Skilful Salute, although your fundraising pages will show a total to allow progress to be displayed. We’d just love you to raise as much as you can.

The funds and awareness you raise will help us provide life-changing treatment and support to the veterans who turn to Combat Stress for help.

To thank you for your support, every employee that sets up a fundraising page and has received a single donation will be entered into a prize draw to win a prize – visit the prizes page on this site.

Whilst you can sign up on your own, you can also learn something as part of a team – your colleagues at work or your family.

We will send out prizes within four weeks after the challenge ends on the 1 September 2023.

Yes, please visit the Combat Stress Shop if you wish to buy any of their branded gear for your challenge.
