It's a charity so its difficult to knock, however it may divert funds from well established charities such as SSAFA. Where was Mr Parry when the fight for Ahstead was on, that was all for Headley, and surely this charity has been a long time in the planning. No wonder it has the backing from the people at the top, it allows the Government and the military to abdicate it's reponsibility for the welfare of its troops to the general public.
I have a feeling that Mr Parry has not done his research since he was a rifleman 22 years ago. He is too quick to say the charity is non political, so why canvass the approval of those who are politically motivated. he also says that H4H "is about the blokes, it's about the blokes". Mr Parry the services now have both genders and men and women both get injured. The organisation is also working 'closely with the Army Benevolunt Fund', I have no problem with that, but what about the RN and the RAF personnel who have been injured. Headley is a tri-service rehabilitation center. Get it right at the start and you might make some money for our 'servicemen and women from the British Armed Forces'!

Go to the 'who are we 'page on their website, and note how Mr Parry has a link to his commercial booksite under his pen picture mmmm!

Comments quoted on the site by MP's and the Under Sec of State for Defence mmmmmm! Non-political
