Future Terrain, the charity supporting the rehabilitation and retraining of injured veterans, is delighted to announce a new partnership with Dacia. The relationship will see Future Terrain operate four Dacia Dusters, supported by two Renault Master vans from its sister brand within Groupe Renault.
The vehicles will be used for off-road racing, expeditions and driver training to deliver vocational qualifications for veterans, focusing on those with physical and mental injuries. These qualifications will prove invaluable for ex-service personnel as they transition to civilian employment.
“We’re thrilled to be entering into a long-term relationship with Dacia,” said Grant White, Director Operations, Future Terrain. “The Dacia Duster is the ideal vehicle for our needs, proving robust, capable and extremely versatile. Future Terrain is dedicated to rehabilitation and career transition and our relationship with Dacia will make an invaluable difference to the lives of ex-military service personnel.”
Speaking on the new charity partnership, Louise O’Sullivan, Head of Dacia UK, said:
“The partnership with Future Terrain is a natural fit for Dacia through its support of community and showcasing of ability, in both the people it supports and vehicles it uses. The charity’s enthusiasm, commitment and determination to succeed is self-evident and we look forward to supporting their program of training and rehabilitation. We’ve no doubt they’ll be testing the Duster to its limits and we can’t wait to follow their adventure.”
The Future Terrain charity can trace its roots to Race2Recovery, which in 2013 became the first team of amputees ever to complete the legendary Dakar Rally. Although Race2Recovery subsequently demobilised, several members of the team wanted to use the experience gained to provide practical benefits for physically and mentally injured service personnel. Future Terrain is a career transition and rehabilitation charity focused on helping veterans secure civilian qualifications through participation in competitive and arduous motoring activities.
