Help for Heroes' 5 Key Messages ...
It's about 'the blokes': those men and women of our Armed Forces who have been wounded in the service of our country since 9/11.
H4H provides direct, practical support for our wounded. We fund projects and initiatives that make a real difference to the lives of our wounded heroes.
We do not seek to criticise or be political. We just want to help and we work closely with the Army, Navy and RAF to provide support where it is most needed.
'Money in, money out'. We spend all that we get and all our admin costs are covered by selling H4H merchandise through Help for Heroes Trading.
It's about doing your bit, no matter how big or small. Every fundraiser is special to us and can make a real difference, so please keep going!
Help for Heroes (H4H) has raised nearly £90m since its launch in October 2007. All the funds raised to date are either allocated or spent on the direct, practical support of those wounded in the current conflicts. To date, H4H has funded a variety of projects including the £8m Rehabilitation Complex at Headley Court, a new £3.5m treatment centre for Combat Stress, adaptive adventure training through the Battle Back programme and the creation of a £6m Quick Reaction Fund to support individuals in need.
In February 2010, H4H announced its key role in the creation of five regional Personnel Recovery Centres, that provide, in partnership with the Services and other Service charities, on-going training and support for the wounded after Headley Court. H4H has committed £100m to Defence Recovery Capability.
H4H accepts that men and women injured in war may eventually have to leave their job of choice but is entirely focused on ensuring that if that has to happen, those individuals only do so when they are ready, have the very best opportunities and the long term care they need; they deserve nothing less.
