Help for Heroes needs our votes...

Please help H4H to win £50,000 in a competition where the winner is voted for by the public. H4H has been in the front for some days but has just been overtaken by another equally worthwhile charity. But it's votes that count and all of us can help to get H4H back in the lead. Competition closes at midnight next Sunday, 4 December.

You can vote by clcking here The Vote that Counts

Thanks

To help I tried to do it but it wouldn't accept any of the post codes I tried,
including a previous UK address in Hereford.

Can you post a couple of valid post codes and I'll enter a couple of votes
- that's if if it will help.

I was over at arrse looking at something else and had a quick look for this subject but couldn't see it - that's not to say that it isn't there !).

I would think that they could generate a few votes.

For whatever reason, and I think it's to do with salaried positions, Help For Heroes isn't held in as high a regard as you might think. RBL, Combat Stress and the home-grown Holidays4Heros get a lot of support.

That stupid voting mechanism requires the letter "é" in one of the words, and won't accept my input. Will try again later on

Thanks for that. I understand. Similar discussions are held here about how much ends up at the "front end" of the charity due to "admin costs".

Anyway, I'll leave it for others to decide whether to support H4H but for me,
50k is still 50k and I'm happy to have spent my 10 minutes trying to help.

Which also gives you another link to vote.

I decided to have a read of the H4H web site and see what it says about costs etc.

IMHO, at least they address the issue of paid people in the FAQ section which is more than some do. From afar, they seem to get some things done and have a good range of people on board who I doubt would be on board if it wasn't that good and even as a minimum, at least with The Sun they have raised the issue of the wounded and kept it in the public eye, maybe even giving the Gov't a kick along ? I am happy to be corrected if any of the above is wrong.
