At Help for Heroes, we believe those who serve our country deserve support when they’re wounded. Every day, men and women have to leave their career in the Armed Forces as a result of physical or psychological wounds; their lives changed forever. We help them, and those still serving, to recover and get on with their lives. We give them physical, psychological, financial and welfare support for as long as they need it. We also support the families of wounded veterans, because they too can be affected by their loved one’s wounds. We receive almost no funding from the Government, which means we rely on the spirit and generosity of the great British public, our partners and volunteers to keep going. Rest assured, we continue to put pressure on the Government to do more. So far, with your help, we've supported more than 26,500 people, but we know that many more still need us. We won’t stop until every wounded veteran gets the support they deserve ▼

We are excited to announce that Poole Hospital Charity and Bournemouth Hospital Charity have come together to create University Hospitals Dorset NHS Charity. Our mission remains the same: To enhance the care and treatment of patients accessing NHS services at Poole, Royal Bournemouth and Christchurch Hospitals by fundraising to provide enhanced facilities, state of the art equipment and support NHS staff health, wellbeing and development. University Hospitals Dorset NHS Charity supports all areas of work at the University Hospitals Dorset with supporters still being able to donate to a ward, department, or hospital of their choice across Poole, Royal Bournemouth, or Christchurch Hospitals. University Hospitals Dorset NHS Charity raises funds through Bournemouth Hospital Charity, Poole Hospital Charity and Christchurch Hospital Charity. ▼
