STRATEGY

Our Impact Strategy puts the wounded, injured, and sick community at the centre, working with partners to demonstrate that real strength is defined through recovery, resilience, and connection — ensuring our Games leave a positive social impact long after the medals are won and the last cheer fades

Through this strategy, we aim to: 

INSPIRE RECOVERY & POTENTIAL

  • Engage more than 1,500 wounded, injured, and sick (WIS) service personnel and their families. 

  • Deliver over 1,000 adaptive sport and adventure opportunities for WIS participants. 

  • Support social impact projects across more than 60 locations in the UK. 

  • Provide industry placements for 10+ young people, creating career pathways in major events. 

STRENGTHEN COMMUNITIES & CONNECTION

  • Guarantee that at least 25% of paid roles go to Birmingham and West Midlands residents. 

  • Ensure 25% of volunteer roles are filled by local residents. 

  • Offer 25% of volunteer roles to the Armed Forces community. 

  • Engage more than 25,000 schoolchildren through a dedicated education programme. 

PROTECT PEOPLE & PLANET

  • Reuse or donate at least 80% of Games assets after the event. 

  • Divert 95% of Games-related waste from landfill through reuse, recycling, or composting. 

  • Require 100% of new supplier contracts to meet sustainable criteria.

  • Target ISO 20121 certification by July 2027 to demonstrate sustainable event delivery. 

DRIVE INCLUSION & ACCESSIBILITY

  • Provide accessibility training for 100% of staff and volunteers. 

  • Audit all venues, hotels, and transport for full accessibility. 

  • Establish an Accessibility Advisory Panel to guide inclusive delivery
