What could you do for Help for Heroes?

Help for Heroes is a charity that has shot to prominence in recent years, with the UK's involvement in conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan meaning there are plenty of stories of injured servicemen returning to British shores in need of support and medical care.

Luckily, the charity has been there for thousands of wounded soldiers since it was founded by Bryn and Emma Parry in 2007. It runs special facilities that can take in military personnel and aid their recovery, but it is always in need of donations in order to maintain its excellent work.

If you feel compelled to do your bit for this extremely worthy cause, the good news is there are plenty of ways you can raise cash. Besides simply reaching into your wallet for some spare notes, you could put on an event that will bring your community together and generate some much-needed funds.

For instance, why not organise a fun day in your street or at a local venue? Plenty of people have done this with great success, and you could raise hundreds – if not thousands – of pounds in the process.

Alternatively, if you and fit and healthy, taking on a sporting challenge that will impress your friends and family sufficiently to sponsor you is a great move. You could run between particular landmarks, cycle from one city to another or undertake a gruelling swim to encourage people to part with their cash in the name of Help for Heroes.

Even if you only have a few hours to spare, you could take to the streets to raise money for the charity and send the funds to its headquarters.

There are so many ways you can do your bit for Help for Heroes and ensure it is able to continue with its magnificent work. All that remains is for you to let your imagination go into overdrive in order to come up with an idea that will raise as much cash as possible.
