In reaching out to veterans Help for Heroes are working closely with another military charity SSAFA,the MoD and the NHS to ensure that as many veterans as possible are aware of the support available and that the support is there when required.
Help for Heroes have recently funded the NHS Veterans Programme with grants to ensure the care is there.
