Both events will be delivered by a three-way partnership between the Royal British Legion, Help for Heroes and the MOD. The partners recognise the impact on Invictus of the cessation of LIBOR money and have decided, therefore, to increase efforts to generate improved levels of sponsorship and donations. To facilitate this effort, the MOD has recently appointed a senior (one star) military officer to support the Partnership Board.
