They may also offer grants to individuals, groups or to other charities. Help for Heroes also offers suicide awareness training.

Their website says "We run sporting and social activities across the UK, and online, to combat loneliness and isolation. We provide financial grants for things such as home adaptations and medical equipment, to help people overcome challenges from illness or injury. Our free online courses and self-help guides give people life skills so they can live independently."

Help for Heroes also lobbies the Government for to do better for veterans, including tackling isolation, improving care pathways and supporting local suicide prevention plans.

"We work with the Office for Veterans’ Affairs (OVA), the Ministry of Defence (MOD), the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), the NHS, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and local authorities, to ensure veterans’ needs are met. Where something is not working properly or there is unfairness, we speak up."
