When it comes to hosting a charity event or fundraising challenge, you will naturally wonder which of the world's many good causes you should direct your proceeds towards.

In recent years, Help for Heroes has become one of the most popular charities to support, with its work often finding its way into the headlines. The charity was founded in 2007 and aims to provide care to servicemen who have been injured while in combat.

With the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq leading to a number of British casualties in this century so far, it is no surprise that the role of Help for Heroes has grown substantially. It runs a number of recovery centres throughout the UK where wounded soldiers can spend time in a bid to get them back on their feet.

As well as this, it offers individual support schemes that help servicemen with their particular needs. This can encompass a huge range of factors, from providing funds to change the infrastructure of a house to cope with the demands of an injured individual to offering tailored transport designed for a former soldier.

The impact of Help for Heroes has been so significant and well received that it is drawing a huge number of donations and some people are even choosing to leave money and assets to the charity in their wills.

It has also won support from a number of high-profile figures and bodies, including national newspapers such as The Sun and The Sunday Times, both of which have raised considerable sums for the charity.

One of the most useful schemes Help for Heroes runs is the Battle Back project. This aims to teach wounded soldiers new skills that should help them with the latter stages of their recoveries.

It is based on adventurous training regimes and is just one of the ways that Help for Heroes supports servicemen in their most worrying times, aiding their long-term recovery and improving all aspects of their life.ADNFCR-2867-ID-801625771-ADNFCR
