Why Help For Heroes Still Needs Your Support
Some might think that Help for Heroes has done the job, raised enough money and no longer needs support. That is far from the truth. In reality, Help for Heroes has already identified a wish list of support for our countrys wounded; the cost of which is more than £67m and growing daily. It is only with the support of the public that Help for Heroes can continue its great task. So while supporters of the charity must allow themselves a pat on the back for raising the staggering amount of over £128m in under five years – the key message to everyone is, Dont stop now!
Bryn Parry OBE, CEO and Co-founder of Help for Heroes said:
We may not be able to prevent our blokes and girls being hurt, but together we are helping them get better. Thank you all for all you are doing and please keep it up! Help for Heroes is now engaged in its next big project, one that will take the wounded on their next step along the Road to Recovery – Personnel Recovery Centres. The Charity is working with the MoD, The Royal British Legion and key service charities to deliver a comprehensive pathway to help launch wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women back into the next phase of their lives.
The sums involved are huge, with Help for Heroes committing to raise more than £163m to build Personnel Recovery Centres in Colchester, Catterick, Tidworth and Plymouth. They aim to provide comprehensive support to servicemen and women who become wounded, injured and sick while providing accommodation in a relaxed and caring environment. Huge-scale building and renovation programmes have already commenced, with accommodation facilities, social areas, family rooms and state of the art gymnasiums being created in the new build centres (Colchester, Catterick and Plymouth) and in the listed building Tedworth House (Tidworth).
Bryn Parry OBE added:
The Road to Recovery is a very long and hard path, these are young men and women today but they will grow old. We at H4H want to ensure that when the current level of public support has passed, as it inevitably will, they are not forgotten; they deserve the best and we are doing our best to get it. Please support Help for Heroes and help our brave soldiers, sailors and airmen on their Road to Recovery.
