Repost: A Statement from Help for Heroes
Since the tragic news emerged that a serving soldier had been murdered in Woolwich, we have been overwhelmed with people spontaneously choosing to show their support for the Armed Forces.
Help for Heroes was born out of a simple desire to assist the wounded and that remains unchanged. All funds we receive are used to provide direct, practical support to those affected by their service to our country.
We ask all our volunteers, fundraisers and donors to respect the victim's family, colleagues and friends who are grieving.
If you do choose to support those who have been wounded, injured or become sick you can do so in the following ways:
By donating online by calling our team on 01725 514 130 or by texting "HERO" to 70900 to donate £5.
If you wish to buy supporter items from our shop, please go to shop.helpforheroes.org.uk.
Please be aware it will take longer than usual to process your order. We will get your order to you as quickly as possible.
