HELP FOR HEROES

Early day motion 1288, tabled 20 April 2009 by Lindsay Hoyle (Labour). Signed by 82 members.

That this House supports the Help for Heroes charity which was established to help those injured in conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan; pays tribute to the founders of the charity and the volunteers who help ensure that the money raised goes to those who need it most; notes that the charity has already raised £16 million through high profile events, sponsorship and individual donations since its formation in October 2007; and congratulates The Sun newspaper for backing the charity and helping to raise its profile even further, which will ensure that troops serving in Afghanistan and Iraq will get the help and support they need.
