What’s this all about?

To use the power of the sport of dragon boating to inspire recovery, support rehabilitation, and generate a wider understanding and respect for those who serve, and have served, with HM Forces.

Purple warriors are fully supported by the military’s Battle Back programme

Purple Warriors is far from just another dragon boat club and charity – it’s a family of serving and retired service personnel who embrace life despite impairments. Purple Warriors overcome struggles side by side, accomplish great things together through sport, and have fun as a team.
