Story

Hello and welcome to our fundraising page!

I have chosen this charity in memory of Sam Morgan a great man loved by everybody who had the pleasure of meeting him who tragically passed away at Age 36 following a distinguished Royal Marines career including 3 tours of Afghanistan that left him suffering with PTSD and being let down by the country he served by a lack of support.

This hit the hearts of the full community of Guisborough, especially his young family with Sam leaving behind his wife & 3 young children all aged 3 or under to who this loss is simply unimaginable.

As Sam's family & friends push for reform for supporting our Veterans it is important to keep Sam's story at the front of people's mind.

RIP Sam you won't be forgotten!!

As part of the FutureBAM and Forces@BAM Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge on Thursday, 19th June 2025 a group of us have chosen to raise funds for the Scotty's Little Soldiers Charity.

Scotty's Little Soldiers is a remarkable charity dedicated to supporting children and young people who have experienced the death of a parent who served in the British Armed Forces. They offer vital emotional support, educational grants, fun activities, and opportunities for bereaved military children to smile again — helping them feel supported and understood as they navigate life without their parent.

Our goal is not just to push our limits and enjoy the breathtaking landscapes but to make a meaningful impact by supporting Scotty's Little Soldiers.

This incredible charity was chosen through a collaboration between FutureBAM and Forces@BAM, bringing together our FutureBAM network and our armed forces community to support a cause close to our hearts.

Every step we take and every pound we raise helps ensure these brave young people continue to receive the support they need and deserve.

Your support means the world to us and, more importantly, to the children and families who benefit from Scotty’s Little Soldiers' incredible work. Let’s make a difference, one step at a time.

Thank you from all of us at Forces@BAM and at FutureBAM!
