Team TIB Walks for SSAFA: Supporting Veterans in Schools and Beyond
At TIB Services, we’re proud to work with schools across the country to help them find dependable, skilled, and proactive caretakers. Many of those we place come from military backgrounds, bringing with them a wealth of life experience and strong transferable skills that make a lasting impact in school communities.
On Saturday 28 June, six members of our head office team will be swapping desks for walking boots as we take on the 13 Bridges Challenge across London to raise funds for SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity. This 10-mile route extends from Tower Bridge to Battersea, crossing every major bridge along the way.

We’re walking to raise money for SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity, whose work supporting serving personnel, veterans and their families changes lives every day. It’s a cause that means a great deal to us and to the many veterans we’re proud to call colleagues and candidates.

Why SSAFA?
SSAFA has been supporting the Armed Forces community for 140 years, providing everything from mental health services and housing support to help with employment, finances and family life.
The people they support are the same people we see thriving in schools. Site managers who keep the grounds safe, caretakers who bring calm and reliability, and team members who go the extra mile with pride and professionalism.
From Service to Schools
At TIB Services, we’re proud signatories of the Armed Forces Covenant and committed to supporting those who’ve served. We help military veterans step into new roles in schools, bringing with them a wealth of transferable skills that make a genuine difference in school communities.
From safeguarding to site management, veterans offer a unique combination of:
Security awareness and risk management
- Hands-on maintenance and problem-solving
- Situational awareness and vigilance
- Teamwork, leadership and accountability
- Reliability and a strong work ethic
In 2024, we were honoured to receive the Business Scale Up Award at the Soldiering On Awards, a national recognition from the Armed Forces community for our ongoing commitment to helping veterans thrive in civilian life.
By raising funds for SSAFA and taking on this challenge, we’re giving back to the people who have already given so much, both in their military careers and in the schools they support.
Help Us Go the Distance
Every donation, no matter how small, will help SSAFA continue its vital work. If your school has seen the difference a veteran can make, this is a chance to give back.

From all of us at Team TIB—a huge thank you for your support.
