About the project
The Invictus Games were created to support wounded, injured and sick service members and veterans on their journey of recovery and reintegration through community and adaptive sport. At the heart of the initiative is the individual — their dignity, experience and right to recovery. Here, adaptive sport is not about competing for results, but a tool for physical and psychological recovery among fellow service members and veterans.
This community is built on respect and action. For more than ten years, we have been building a system of recovery through adaptive sport — including through Ukraine’s participation in the Invictus Games, the organisation of nationwide competitions for veterans, sports camps and community-based festivals.
