Help for Heroes offer help and support to hundreds of men and women who have been negatively affected by war. Having served in the British Army for many years, I know just how much the members of the Armed Forces appreciate the work of Help for Heroes and therefore the value of every penny that is donated to the charity. I want to thank the staff across the NEC Group for their contributions and fundraising efforts over the last 12 months.<\/p>\n<p>Bryn Parry, Co-Founder and CEO of Help for Heroes said; \u201cHelp for Heroes is all about \u2018doing your bit\u2019 and NEC Group\u2019s support over the last year has been fantastic. The money that has been raised is greatly needed and will be used to provide long-term support for those who have suffered life-changing injuries and illnesses.
