Project Q

06/04/2026

We recently received a message from Lucy, whose husband James was permanently injured while serving his country.

Lucy is fighting a system that penalises injured veterans for receiving the compensation they were awarded. Right now, Armed Forces Compensation Scheme payments are only disregarded from Universal Credit calculations for 12 months, unlike other national disaster compensation schemes which are fully protected. Families are being forced to spend money meant to cover long-term injury and loss of independence just to survive.

Lucy has started a petition calling for this to change. It needs 10,000 signatures to trigger a government response, and right now it’s just over 9000.

Please sign and share. We have added the link in our stories or check out the article on our page.

Lots of “Robotic Interest and Information ” appearing on Social Media now …. Training Centres “popping up” ….Access improving…

Have we missed the boat?

No.

Why…? Just one reason Globalisation of Healthcare…

GEORGE’s WALK

Saturday 28th March 2026 George is taking on a 25 MILE walk in support of the RB Project Q fundraising Spinal Op Campaign for Gillian.

The route:

Start Point - Hengisbury following the coast to the chain ferry. Handrail the harbour via Lillyput, Poole Park to Poole Bridge. Passing Sunseeker International, The Docks to Hamworthy park and on to Lake Pier, Blue Pool. Then down through Turlin Moor to the Rail Way Bridges Blandford Road. On to Upton Country House around Holes Bay to the ….

Finish Point- Rob’s Filling Station

Timings.

Start: 0700hrs

ETA Rob’s Filling Station 1600hrs ish,

WHY?

I am doing this as Gills husband Kevin was a member of the Devonshire and Dorset Regiment which I had the pleasure to serve in myself.
We served at the same time.
Kevin unfortunately has glaucoma and Gill has to drive him every where…..There will come a time where she will be unable to do this and that will impact on their life.

So….. I thought that as RB Project Q - The Stronghold had started this fundraising. WE as a Breakfast Club should get on board and try and raise some of the funds.

The ORSI Academy in Melle Belgium … Expanding their facility…

If you look back …. Way back….To 2017 …..You’ll see I’ve talked about trying to develop a similar model to ORSI…. Difficult without support.

The reality is this is not a race …. We need lots of these facilities to train for the future! We just need to get in the game…

Bravo ORSI …👏

Behind the scenes at Orsi Academy👷‍♂️🏗️🚧 Our expansion project is steadily moving forward! This new building will double our training capacity and allow us to welcome even more surgeons to develop their skills through advanced simulation and hands-on education. Curious to see how it...

There is/has been “a lot” of “pressure” for RB Project Q The Stronghold to become a Charity.

Why not …

People change direction…Trustees

Money and “Control” changes people….

Don’t get me started on “Reserves”….Donations are not for holding in reserves in my book….

Charity means helping others for me … Not yourself.

Agree disagree…matters not… What matters for me is getting the job done 🇬🇧🫡
