Cadets in Enterprise: A New Generation of Young Leaders Step Forward
October 8, 2025
On 22nd October 2025, the Soldiering On Awards will once again bring together our wonderful Armed Forces community at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge Hotel in London.
It promises to be a night of inspiration, celebration and connection, but also, thanks to our fundraising Auction, a night of impact.
We are inviting donations of Auction prizes, from once-in-a-lifetime experiences to unique products, events or services that will help raise vital funds for the Soldiering On Academy.
Why Your Donation Matters
The Soldiering On Academy is more than a programme, it’s a thriving community where people come together to share knowledge, support one another, and build sustainable futures. From mentoring and peer-to-peer networks to learning opportunities and career pathways, the Academy ensures that the legacy of the Soldiering On Awards lasts long after the spotlight fades.
By donating an Auction prize, you are directly helping us expand this work, empowering individuals, fostering connections, and opening new doors of opportunity. You can read more about the Academy’s life-changing impact through our last project with Wounded, Injured, and Sick veterans in Cornwall here.
What We’re Looking For
We are seeking Auction prizes that are truly extraordinary, the kinds of experiences or products that money can’t easily buy:
• Exclusive tickets or VIP hospitality packages
• Behind-the-scenes experiences in sport, arts, culture or business
• Adventure activities or luxury getaways
• Signed memorabilia or limited-edition creations
• Unique products or services that showcase innovation and craftsmanship
Every donation, big or small, helps to make the night more exciting and the Academy’s future more secure.
Be Part of the Legacy
When you donate a prize, your generosity will be recognised on the night itself and across Soldiering On Awards communications. More importantly, you’ll know that you are helping to celebrate courage, empower potential, and change lives within the Armed Forces community.
How to Get Involved
If you or your organisation would like to donate an Auction prize, please get in touch with the Soldiering On Awards team via soa@x-forces.com
Together, we can ensure that the Awards night on 22nd October is not only a celebration of achievement, but also a launchpad for even greater impact through the Soldiering On Academy.
