The UK’s only specialist charity for veterans' wound care

The right care, in the right place, at the right time

How we help

From when they leave the armed forces until they are elderly, we help physically injured veterans in England and Wales.

Ex-service men and women with amputations, complex ballistic injuries, burns and other injuries may need lifelong care and support. Many face multiple surgeries and years of stump and scar management after they leave the armed forces.

 

Woundcare4Heroes helps by providing one-to-one wound care for the most complex cases. We bridge the gap between military healthcare and the NHS, working with partners to provide rapid assessment and referrals. We help by providing a single point of contact to access specialist services and equipment. We make life better for veterans by helping them get the ongoing care they need and by supporting their families and healthcare teams. We influence treatment and advocate for better services.

We work in partnership with other charities and health services, supported by a team of experts and specialists. 

Find out how you can donate

 

We are very lucky to have Falklands veteran Simon Weston as one of our patrons. He explains how seriously injured veterans can take a "long, long time to heal" and the need for more specialist wound care in their communities. With your support, Woundcare4Heroes can make life better for ex-service men and women by helping them get the ongoing care they need.
