Help For Heroes - Working With Other Service Charities Towards A Common Goal
Help for Heroes is one of the UKs most prominent service charities. The charitys landmark achievement of raising 100 million in three years has changed the lives of thousands of men and women who were wounded, injured or taken sick in the line of duty. So far, they have created an 8.5 million rehabilitation complex at Headley Court, and are currently leading on the creation ofpersonnel recovery centres nationwide, to improve welfare and physical development as well as providing individual assistance to those in need.
Help for Heroes is all about getting the best for our Armed Forces, and is proud to work together with other service charities to make sure this happens. Thanks to the brilliant donations from the public, Help for Heroes is able to provide a 6 million Quick Reaction Fund, which is distributed through the services own charities including ABF The Soldiers Charity, and the Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity.
For those who have suffered life changing injuries in service - and their families - the Quick Reaction Fund offers a chance to make day-to-day life that little bit easier with individual care and support. The application process is simple, involving direct communication, so support tailored to each individual can be provided quickly and with a minimum of fuss. Total funding of nearly 3 million has already helped change almost 1,500 lives.
The money which Help for Heroes and service charities provide from the Quick Reaction Fund has eased mobility issues by paying for, or contributing towards, mobility equipment and necessary lifestyle adaptations, including car adaptations, wheelchairs, tarmac on drives for easier wheelchair access, handbikes and stair lifts. They have also helped provide gym memberships to aid recovery, prosthetic limbs, fitness equipment and canine partners. The Quick Reaction Fund, which was first created in April 2010, also aims to reduce the strain placed on service personnels families. It has previously provided funds for temporarily extending family members visas, paying for driving lessons for family members so they are able to drive their injured relative to medical appointments, and distance learning courses so family members can continue to support the family while taking on a carer role.
ABF The Soldiers Charity was created in 1944, with the original name the Army Benevolent Fund. It has helped over 4,000 veterans, from every conflict since World War II, including operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Help for Heroes has a long-term partnership with service charities like ABF The Soldiers charity, because they understand they are working towards a common goal. By teaming up with other service charities, Help for Heroes gives individuals the best chance of recovery, helping them to achieve the happy and fulfilling future which they deserve.
