Give us your miles

Join us this Thursday, the 3rd of October, for our Big Salute Day where BFBS Radio will be coming to you live right around the forces world for a whopping 23 hours. We start our programmes live from Brunei at 12am UKT then, follow us as we take you through our stations from Bahrain to Cyprus, Gibraltar, Germany, across the UK, The Falkland Islands and ending in Canada.

This is in support of our BFBS Mile-a-thon, our virtual 7,635 mile journey from BFBS Brunei to BFBS Canada where we've been receiving mileage submissions in their masses with dog walkers, runners, swimmers, cyclists and school involvement too.

We'll be shining a spotlight on all your incredible efforts for Big Salute Day and sharing the incredible work of the military charities that the BFBS Big Salute supports. Remember all donations throughout the day are hugely appreciated and support armed forces charities who help serving personnel, their families, veterans and the wider military community.
