Grants

We offer financial support to members of the Armed Forces community.

GRANT FUNDING

If an injury or illness is making things tough, we might be able to help with some of the financial costs to make life easier or to help you get the care you need.

If we can’t fund something ourselves, we’ll point you in the direction of someone else who might be able to.

Things we could possibly fund, include

- Helping with travel costs to go to a medical appointment
- A laptop so you can have counselling sessions
- Putting in ramps and widening doors so you can use a wheelchair in your home
- Adapting a bathroom or kitchen so you can use them properly
- Leg braces or another similar medical item
- Special furniture so that you are comfortable.

If you are entitled to state benefits or extra support from NHS and council services, we ask that you apply for these first. We can help you look at what possible help is out there. For example, gas, water and electricity companies give some customers extra support if they are in vulnerable situations.

We may means assess household income when we receive a request for grant funding. This will include asking you to provide us with three months’ bank statements along with your application form.

If you have a Help for Heroes case manager, they can help you fill in your form. If you don’t have a case manager, email getsupport@helpforheroes.org.uk.
