Patron Capital, the pan-European institutional investor focused on property-backed investments, is once again sponsoring the Veteran Games 2022, which will be held from 29 May to 3 June in Israel. Patron was one of the founders of the Games, which unite British and Israeli veterans in celebration of sports and family.
This year, around 300 people will be attending the five-day sporting event, including disabled veterans from across the British Armed Forces, and more than 100 members of their families. Research shows that family and sport are essential ingredients for long-term recovery following serious mental and/or physical injury. The Games have a strong mental health focus and, this year, Patron is sponsoring the Veteran Games Mental Health Conference, through Beit Halochem, the key charity behind the Games.
Former Royal Marine Mark Ormrod has been selected as an ambassador for the Veteran Games 2022. Mark was injured in Afghanistan, becoming the UK’s first triple amputee. He was presented with a Pride of Britain Award last year, for raising thousands of pounds by undertaking remarkable feats of endurance.
The opening ceremony of the Games will be held in Tel Aviv on the Sunday evening.
Keith Breslauer, Managing Director of Patron Capital, said:
“Patron was one of the original founders of the Veteran Games, and I am immensely proud of the role they play in supporting so many disabled veterans and their families on the long road to recovery. I am incredibly excited to be attending the Games in Israel this year, along with my family, and am looking forward to meeting some inspirational people.”
