Charity Support

At The Defence Technology Show, we believe the event should support not only innovation and collaboration across the defence sector, but also the wider Armed Forces community.

Each year, we hold a charity raffle during the event in support of a forces-related charity, with prizes generously donated by our exhibitors and partners. The raffle has become a popular part of DTS, helping to raise valuable funds for important causes whilst giving attendees the chance to win a range of excellent prizes.

Last year’s raffle supported Walking with the Wounded, helping to support those who have served in the military with mental health, employment, and wraparound care coordination programmes.

We are pleased to announce that this year we will be supporting The Forces Employment Charity.

The Forces Employment Charity exists to provide life-long, life-changing support, job opportunities, and training to Service leavers, veterans, reservists, and their families, irrespective of circumstances, rank, length of service, or reason for leaving.

Founded in 1885 and operating across the UK, they have the specialist knowledge and understanding to bridge the gap between military life and civilian employment. They work in partnership with other organisations and employers who, like us, respect, and value the unique qualities and abilities of all those who have served.

Raffle tickets will be available throughout the day, with the draw taking place during the closing session of the event. We encourage all attendees to take part and help support a worthy cause connected to the defence community.
