Help For Heroes

Help for heroes is a campaign that was set up to raise £6 million to build a Gymnasium and Swimming Pool for use by our Service men and women who return wounded from Iraq and Afghanistan some of them have lost limbs some are severely burned and some of them have been traumatised by what they have seen and been involved in.

The Rehabilitation Centre is in Headley Court in Surry it is for all branches of the Services. The Gymnasium will be fitted with the latest equipment to deal with any injury that the staff will have to deal with and the Swimming Pool will also be kitted out with the latest equipment for any injury that requires water treatment.

Help for Heroes is strictly non-political: we are leaving the talking to the politicians while we get on with raising a great deal of money to directly support our service men and women.

I have been selling Help for Heroes Wristbands since November 2007, I am sure you must have seen them in the Sun newspaper and often on the TV. If you want to know more about the Campaign please click Here.

If anyone would like to purchase the now popular Help for Heroes Wristbands please ring me on 01283 219563 or e-mail me at aljeffrey@talktalk.net
