What Is Pain Awareness Month?
Pain awareness month is a month to raise awareness of the physical pain people are going through on a daily basis. For Help for Heroes, it’s an opportunity for us to show our support to veterans and families that may be suffering with this.
Who we help
We help veterans, their relatives, serving personnel, reservists, and people who worked under UK command to make a success of life in the civilian world. You don’t have to have served in a conflict, and it’s never too late to ask for support.
How Do I Get Started?
It's fantastic that you're ready to ask for help. Simply click on the button below and you'll be taken to our My Recovery platform. Here, you can submit an application where your case will be assessed and we can start your journey to a better way forward.
