H4H doesn't actually support our soldiers though. Only those injured after 9/11 which to be honest, aren't vast in numbers even though one is a tragedy. They do a good job even if they dont help most ordinary members of their armed forces and their families.Cogito ergo sum. Google it you lazy sod !!0

They support any soldiers injured in the service of their country and work towards providing support and better services for those who may be injured in the future.
Actually the numbers are very large and as the wife of a serving member of the forces i'm glad they do. We haven't needed their help but have friends who have and appreciate it immensely, so I would argue that they DO support most ordinary members of the forces by being there in case the worst happens.0 -

Yep it's to help any injured soldiers.

I'm prwtty sure they help any one serving who was injured after 2003 but not before then. Know a couple of ex regs injurd before then who were refused help on those grounds.It aint over til I've done singing....0

Any help is better than none. H4H do a great job and we need to support our heroes more and maybe learn something from our American friends. They treat the members of the armed forces correctly. People in the UK don't really care.0

Help for Heroes also support other forces charities so whilst they may not directly help those injured before 2003 they do help indirectly.0 -
Anyone who wants to help the injured service personnel while in rehab (all 3 services, not just soldiers) could send a cheque direct to DMRC Headley Court, made out to DMRC Patients WelfareYou never know how far-reaching something good, that you may do or say today, may affect the lives of others tomorrow0
