The UK Emergency Services Games concept was created by Mike Downard and Simon Rider in 2019, with the aim of creating a fun, healthy and competitive format for all emergency responders.

The Games would give all emergency services staff and their immediate families the chance to come together, focus on their own physical and mental health and establish friendships across the services - very importantly, they would also raise money for the treatment of mental health within the emergency services.

Our vision was that the surplus from these games would go to UKESG Ltd, the Charity, as it would for all future events organised by UK Emergency Services Games Ltd.

• UK Emergency Services Games Ltd is working on the organisation of The Gratitude Games, to launch, grow and improve this sporting event (open to members of the emergency services and immediate families, with select events also open to the public), to encourage members of the emergency services to participate in sport and to drive the amounts raised by all participants for charities.
• UKESG Ltd (UK Emergency Services Giving) provides funding to specialist organisations which enable members of the emergency services to improve their mental health.

The Charity is the sole shareholder of UK Emergency Services Games Ltd. Surplus generated by UK Emergency Services Games Ltd is gifted to the charity and all of the charity’s income is used to further The Charity’s charitable objects.

UK Emergency Games Limited organises the Gratitude Games and intends to organise other mass-participation sporting events in the future. After costs, the surplus generated through these events is gifted to UKESG Ltd, the Charity.

The Charity uses these funds to award grants to organisations and projects to improve the mental health of members of the emergency services and their families.
