From the Help for Heroes website

Help for Heroes is a charity that raises money to support members of the Armed Forces who have been wounded in the service of their country. We ask our supporters to “do their bit” to show these extraordinary young men and women that they are cared for by us. Over a million people have responded to date and millions of pounds have been raised to buy much needed services that will aid their recovery, but we need more! So far, we have allocated almost all of the money we have raised in order to fund direct projects and support other service charities. We are passionate about what we are doing and as far as we are concerned the sooner we can see results, the better!

From our Guestbook:

I want to say a huge thank you here. I had thought I would enjoy myself last Saturday but I was 'bowled over...' - thank you for such astonishingly beautiful, exciting, moving and varied music; performed with such thoughtfulness, discipline and artistry - it resulted in the standing ovation which was so well-deserved and my heart remained 'lifted' for days afterwards ! I know a huge amount of work must go into arriving at such a wonderful standard but, believe me, it is so worth it !   Amy Purdon

It was tremendous - a truly world-class event
in a fabulous location.   David Parry

Just a note to say what a superb concert it was on Saturday evening in Oxford, and as always it was good to meet and chat with many of you.  Peter and Pat Hillman
