Other directors include former chief of the general staff General Sir Mike Jackson, bestselling author Andy McNab and former Royal Artillery officer Lucy Wood.[5]

The ForceSelect Foundation gets its income from a percentage of the profits from the ForceSelect recruitment business as well as a wide range of fundraising activities, such as a collaboration with Lionsgate films for the UK premiere of The Expendables in August 2010.[10]
Military charities across the UK are invited to apply for grants which are awarded by the Board of trustees twice a year.[11]
