Help for Heroes
This truly inspirational charity has spent the last 4 years publicizing and helping the plight of the servicemen and women returning Afghanistan and Iraq. It is a charity we strongly support and align ourselves with. They have raised the nations awareness of these Hero’s and successfully aided the rehabilitation of thousands.
Bryn and Emma Parry founded the Charity in October 2007. The message of the charity is simple: We are strictly non political and non critical; we simply want to help. We believe that anyone who volunteers to serve in time of war, knowing that they may risk it all, is a hero. These are ordinary people doing extraordinary things and some are living with the consequences of their service for life. We may not be able to prevent our soldiers for being wounded, but together we can help them get better.
