No, you can game any way that you want. Whether that is through:

- Console Gaming

- Mobile Gaming

- Streaming

- In person Gaming

- Tournaments

- E-sports

- Fantasy sports

Or if you have another idea, we would love to help you turn it into a fundraising activity. Drop us an email at HeroUp@helpforheroes.org.uk to discuss all of the possibilities.

You can play any game that you enjoy, with the console of your choice. Maybe you want to sharpen your skills on a tried and tested favourite, or there’s a new game you’ve got your eye on. You could even keep it old-school and have a board game session instead. If you’re planning a longer event, why not mix it up with a few different games and set up tournaments or speedruns?

If you’d like to set up a team page, one member of the team can register in the teams name or alternatively each team member can register individually.

Gift Aid is a simple way to make your donations go further. If those sponsoring your event are a UK taxpayer, we can claim 25p from the Government for every £1 donated. On your fundraising page, your donors just need to tick a little box to agree to this.

To be eligible to add gift aid to your donation, you must be a UK taxpayer. You can find out more information or to fill in a form for offline donations, please click here

To ensure we can be here for wounded veterans and families for as long as they need us, we must:

• Spend money on the delivery of our recovery services and on championing the needs of our wounded, so that veterans can live secure and healthy lives with purpose (known as our Services and Campaigning).
• Spend money on our marketing and fundraising efforts so that we can continue to raise donations from the generous great British public and businesses, who we rely on for more than 90 per cent of our income* (known as Fundraising).
• Spend money on governance, IT systems and processes to ensure we are properly looking after the interests and data of our veterans, volunteers and supporters (known as Essential Support Costs).
• Put money aside to protect the future of our services, so that we can meet unprecedented increases in demand for support and survive if our income drops (known as Keeping Reserves). 

We believe you have a right to know how we spend our funds, and we promise that we are committed to delivering the maximum impact in return for your donations. Please bear in mind that it is almost impossible to accurately compare how £1 is spent by different charities. No two charities are the same, and the way each one raises, spends and reports their funds is different.

We aim to spend: 

• 58 percent of our funds on our Services and Campaigning
• 22 percent on Fundraising
• 20 percent on Essential Support Costs.

We put our veterans at the heart of every decision we make. When we spend money to raise money, we promise that it is always to make every pound go further for our cause. Every £1 we spend on fundraising raises £4 to help us support our wounded.
