When life feels busy, where do you go to clear your head?
For many of us, it's a favourite walking route or hiking spot.

In the Armed Forces community, pushing through can become second nature.

But constantly carrying on, withdrawing from others, or spending more time isolated than usual can take its toll.

You don’t need to disappear before you ask for help.

If you've experienced periods where you felt absent, disconnected, or overwhelmed, we'd love to hear from you in the comments. 💬👇

By sharing your experience, you could help someone else realise they're not alone. 💙

You might know Ross Kemp as a familiar face on your screen… but did you know he’s also been a Help for Heroes Patron since 2008?

Ross has spent time on the front line with British troops in Afghanistan for his documentary work and has supported Help for Heroes’ work with veterans and their families for many years.

And now he’s bringing those skills to the Traitors' castle. 👀

From military experience to mission-solving… how do you think Ross is getting on so far?

We all have a veteran connection. What’s yours? 👇

We’re celebrating an incredible first year of partnership with Ground Control Ltd!

At the start of the partnership a fundraising target of £55,000 was agreed, and Ground Control has gone above and beyond, raising an amazing £100,000 for Help for Heroes.

This partnership goes beyond fundraising. Ground Control has also shared its expertise to help upskill our teams and deliver valuable Learning and Development opportunities across the charity – strengthening our workforce so we can provide better support to veterans today and for years to come.

We’re also excited to continue our partnership with Ground Control into 2027, creating even more positive impact for the Armed Forces community.

A huge thank you to everyone at Ground Control for your generosity, expertise and continued support. We’re looking forward to seeing what we can achieve together over the next few months!

Here’s a short clip highlighting some of the most memorable moments from the partnership so far. https://brnw.ch/21x6fSp

Have you been feeling absent lately?

Feeling disconnected from people around you, struggling to enjoy things you used to love, or feeling slightly "off" can happen to anyone.

For many in the Armed Forces community, these feelings can be difficult to talk about.

But you don’t need to disappear before you ask for help.

If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

Sharing your experiences could help someone feel less alone, too. Tell us your experience of feeling absent in the comments. 💬👇

It's been 25 years since the Afghanistan War began.

Today, we remember those who lost their lives in the conflict and all those who served in Afghanistan.

For many veterans, the impact of their service doesn’t end when they leave the armed forces. The experiences of conflict can stay with them long after they return home, and many need support to live well after service.

As we mark 25 years since the conflict began, take a moment to remember, learn and show your support for those who served.

And if you or someone you know needs support, we're here for you.

In 2027, riders will spend four days cycling through Normandy during Armed Forces Week, following the story of D-Day and the Allied advance while experiencing an event unlike any other.
