Help for Heroes

Starting a new life after a military career can be really tough. Overnight, you not only lose your job, but your whole way of life. You lose a support network that’s like your family. And you have to find somewhere new to live. The civilian world can feel scary, confusing and not very welcoming.

Our mission is to help all members of the Armed Forces community live well after service.

These people need your help.

Together we can support them in managing their physical and mental health, and their welfare and social needs. We receive almost no government funding. We rely on your support to be here for as long as members of the Armed Forces community need us. There are thousands more veterans and families who need your support today to be able to live well after service.

Steve McCully, Help for Heroes beneficiary:

“The charity has been amazing – thanks to their support I’m now following my dream to run my own business and feel that I have a real future outside of the marines."

Theodore Roosevelt 4th July 1903:

"A man who is good enough to shed his blood for his country is good enough to be given a fair deal afterwards."

Payroll Giving donations now more important than ever

Payday, best day of the month.  Make it even better with a donation through Payroll Giving to Help for Heroes.

Some celebrate by hitting the shops – others by hitting the pub. But why not share some of that joy with Help for Heroes through payroll giving?

Not only is Payroll Giving super simple, but it’s also super tax effective. How come? Because your donation gets deducted before you pay the taxman.  For instance, if you donate £5, only £4 comes out of your salary and the taxman pays the rest.

How much will my donation cost out of my take-home pay?

You donate   You pay
Cost to you as a 20% tax rate payer 
Cost to you as a 40% tax rate payer 
Cost to you as a 45% tax rate payer 

Processing - how does Payroll Giving Work?

It’s the easiest way to support us, hit the donate button, complete the donation form, and your regular donation will come directly from your salary.

So it’s a good deed, with zero faff.
 

What if I change my mind?

No worries! You can cancel your donation or change the amount at any time.
