The ‘BBQ for Heroes’ campaign takes place during August 15-31 and you can register and find out more by visiting www.bbqforheroes.org.uk or calling 01980 846459.

Whether you invite friends over for a BBQ in your garden in exchange for a donation, or arrange a bigger community event, it all makes a difference to the support H4H can provide.

A free fundraising pack will be sent to every BBQ for Heroes event organiser. The packs include H4H wristbands, lapel pins, collecting boxes, bunting, balloons and a banner.

Help for Heroes co-founder Emma Parry said: “H4H is all about ‘doing your bit’ and this event is a wonderful example of people rallying support and having a great deal of fun while they raise money.”
