Help for Heroes is a registered charity which provides care and support for wounded service men and women of all the forces. Help for Heroes raises money through events, donations, the support of the media, personalities, and serving military staff. It uses this money to provide emergency and long term assistance under the guidance of key figures from all the armed forces.
