Alpha UK

Alpha has been running in the British armed forces since 1994 and Alpha for Forces was established in 2003 to make the course more accessible to the forces community.

Alpha for Forces has been run on military bases throughout the UK, on operational deployments and onboard ship. Courses can be run by the Chaplaincy or by servicemen and women of all ranks. Increasingly Alpha for Forces is running within the armed forces of other countries around the world.

What people in the Armed Forces are saying about Alpha:

"If you want a no-holds-barred, open and honest discussion, you can bring all the questions and things that annoy you about anything to do with Christianity or religion to Alpha. You ask it, listen to what has got to be said and then make a decision. If you never ask the questions you'll never get any answers, and if you never give it a go you'll never know whether it was right or wrong, good or bad.'
Scott Armstrong Helicopter Pilot Royal Navy

'In the Armed Forces we challenge ourselves physically, and we challenge ourselves mentally, but one area we often fail to challenge ourselves is where we are spiritually.'
Warrant Officer 22 SAS
