About Us

As a nation we’re at risk of leaving behind some of our most seriously injured and ill veterans. These are young men and women living with life-changing injuries and illnesses, that have altered lives in ways beyond comprehension, both physically and mentally. But we refuse to let veterans who have sacrificed so much for us, live out the rest of their lives hidden behind closed doors.

OUR
MISSION

Since 2007, Help for Heroes has supported more than 32,000 veterans and family members with a range of health, welfare and social issues.

Among them are a distinct cohort, identified by the severity of their injuries or illnesses, who require a lifetime of intense and complex care.

They were serving their country in the prime of their lives when they were dealt the most cruel and catastrophic blows. They’ll forever be dependent on others for basic daily tasks.

It’s not a large group. There are 35 people, but sadly their ranks are likely to grow.

Other seriously injured veterans will inevitably suffer deterioration in their physical health. Help for Heroes must be ready for service personnel who become injured. We know there are very seriously injured veterans being cared for by their family, who would benefit from this support.

Meeting these veterans’ critical needs is the founding logic behind the No One Left Behind campaign. We aim to raise £17 million, which will be ring-fenced within the Charity.

35

In 2018 we supported five very seriously injured veterans. Today that number has risen to 35.

33

of our very seriously injured are men and two are women.

100%

of your donation will go directly towards supporting very seriously injured veterans and their families.

Our teams continue to work tirelessly to provide the support that is needed to ensure our veterans and their families thrive. Meanwhile, the number of people donating to military charities has halved. We need your support, so that we can ensure no one is left behind. Help us support those who were protecting us when tragedy struck.

Ryan’s disability isn’t going away. Knowing that they’re there for Ryan to continue experiencing good things, and knowing I’ve got their support if Ryan has another medical incident is fantastic. That’s something that helps me sleep at night. Because I know it’s not just me.
