Quick Reaction Fund (QRF)
If you are or were a member of the Armed Forces and you have been injured in the line of duty, either in action or in training, then our Quick Reaction Fund (QRF) is available to you. Whether you need car adaptions or a handbike to keep you fit despite your injury, the fund is available for almost anything that will make your life easier. Similarly, if you are a relative whose life has been affected by your loved one’s injury we might be able to help you as well. Funds will be administered within 72 hours of the grant application through the Services’ own charities.
To find out more, please contact the grants team on or 01725 514117.
Band Of Brothers
The Band of Brothers is our way of keeping in touch with those injured in the service of our country and sharing with you the job offers, holidays and VIP invitations to sports matches/concerts we receive from a very supportive public. You’ll also get a great bag of sports kit and other goodies to help with your recovery. Your contact details are kept private, there’s no commitment and it’s all free! To join up just send an email to or call 01980 846459.
What is the Band of Sisters?
Support, Recognition and Fellowship.
In the summer of 2010 Help for Heroes received a letter from the mother of a wounded soldier who was enquiring about the support available to her daughter-in-law. This letter, along with many other incredibly moving conversations with the families who support our heroes, acted as a catalyst that led us to the realisation that it’s not just our 'blokes', the men and women of the Armed Forces, who need looking after – it’s our 'sisters', their loved ones, too.
The Band of Sisters is a support network for those who care for, and support their wounded Hero. We are eager to see our ‘Sisters’ supported by others who understand some of the thoughts emotions and day-to-day situations you might experience. So far the Band of Sisters is over 100 strong and growing.
We are a friendly ear and shoulder for family members, which, we hope will result in a network of support that covers the UK and beyond and can be used when needed, and in confidence. We will be able to offer the odd treat and day/evening out.
For more information or to join, please email .
