Help for Heroes
The Veterans War - Fighting for Peace

Film & Campaign Description

Many veterans have great resilience and strength, forged by all they’ve been through.

The training, the camaraderie, maybe dangers faced and sights seen, that a lot of us can’t even imagine.

Having pushed their minds and bodies to the limits of what is humanly possible, veterans are only human, with the same vulnerabilities as the rest of us.

Sometimes what you give to your country can come at a huge cost. Physically, mentally and financially.

Right now, in homes up and down the country, thousands of veterans and their family members are fighting daily battles. Pain, mental trauma, poverty and isolation are putting people’s lives on hold.

Having sacrificed so much on our behalf, we must not leave them to fight alone.

We all have a duty to stand with those who served and make sure they get the life-changing support they and their families urgently need.  

Together we must fight for the peace our Armed Forces community deserves and end the Veterans War.
