As we join the nation in commemorating the service men and women who have died in conflict, we remain at the side of those veterans still fighting their own battles today.  

On Sunday, 10 November, more than 40 veterans, carers and Help for Heroes colleagues will join 10,000 others at the Cenotaph Parade in London. They will march shoulder-to-shoulder in a powerful act of remembrance along Whitehall, to honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

At the same time, we stand with those who continue to fight their own battles today. Battles with painful injuries, mental trauma and isolation - fighting for the peace they deserve.

    Thanks to the generosity of the British public, we have helped transform the lives of more than 32,000 veterans and family members since 2007.

    32,000 The number of veterans and family members you've helped transform the lives of.

    But there are thousands more who need us right now, and many who will need us for the rest of their lives.

    More than 40,000 men and women have been medically discharged from the Armed Forces due to injury or illness over the last 20 years. The number continues to rise, with five individuals being medically discharged every day.  

    Together, we can ensure they find the peace they deserve.


    In their own words
