It’s quite incredible that 10 years have passed since we hosted our first gala dinner to launch our partnership with Help for Heroes. I remember so vividly that we talked about how maybe we could eventually raise £1m for this incredible charity, never really knowing if such a target was remotely possible. So I hope you feel as proud as I do to see that we’ve raised over £1.6m to date. It’s been very difficult for all charities over the past few years, and Help for Heroes is no exception, which is why I’m determined that we must continue in our efforts to support our partners through this challenging time and beyond. Thank you for your continued and valued support.”
