Building community support with football

Members of the British Army Training Unit Kenya (CSS BATUK) kicked off their community engagement work in 2020 with a football match against the locals.

The friendly fixture against Pepe FC (a local team based in Nanyuki), ended with a 2-0 win to BATUK. But away from who won, the event brought smiles and cheers all round, especially when SSgt Butlin and Sgt Valentine presented football strips to local football clubs.

Events such as these not only open doors for members of the local community, but are also key to establishing healthy working relations between BATUK troops and the locals.

Currently, BATUK RFC has six RLC personnel either playing or holding key admin positions, highlighting another example of the importance and involvement of RLC Sp across BATUK.

The RLC Aquatics open water swimming team made history! Led by WO1 Shawn Bailey MBE, the incredible team completed a two-way swim across the English Channel, from England to France and back again, with a total swim time of 22 hours and 16 minutes. This phenomenal achievement marks them as the first ever mixed military relay team to conquer this feat, and the first in RLC history to do so. Since 1875, only 48 other teams have achieved this, and they are the only military team this century to join them.Through relentless training, unshakable determination, and exceptional skill, they also raised £7885 for military charities during our journey. Huge congrats to the team: WO1 Shawn Bailey MBE, Maj Clive Allford, Maj John Howell, Maj Paul Vidler, Capt Lucy Powell, Cpl Kelly May and Cpl Emma Meechan #WeAreTheRLC #youbelonghere #wesustain ...
