I can relate to the reviews on here
I can relate to the reviews on here. My nephew was let down by this series. Apart from an intial letter sent to his Gp they didn't do anything in the way of support. Follow emails were ignored aswell. My advise don't bother if your a veteran
I'm a veteran, diagnosed with MH and was denied hardship support
I'm a veteran, also a diagnosed schizo.. I emailed explaining I'm experiencing hardship for a couple reasons and was told that they don't want to help me
I suppose for me the biggest annoyance is people in my family used to donate to this company, who are seemingly more interested in paying staff-wages than actually helping anyone who needs help
Thank you for being inconsistent, inconsiderate and unhelpful
Say no to a hungry veteran and Thier family at Christmas
Asked for food help for my family they said no stop supporting this charity what's the point in them being Thier if they just keep saying no all the time

I had an assessment telephone call many weeks ago that opened up a lot of old wounds and actually made me quite poorly again (due to this call) and was then told I would have to wait 8 weeks or something until any further help!
I hope this doesn't happen to many others as I believe this is dangerous and the opposite of what you are trying to achieve

Dissatisfied completely
I ordered an, Essential Heroes Zip Hoodie, Washed Mid Green and waited with anticipation for the arrival of another purchase from Help for Heroes shop but when it arrived it was too big and I thought never mind, I’ll send it back and exchange it for a smaller (M), thinking that there would be no problem but how wrong could I be. The price had been jacked up to double and I was forced to accept that there was no alternative. Thanks, Help for Heroes Shop but you have disappointed a loyal customer along with your charity beneficiaries that are the real Heroes that I have helped and donated so much too. Bitter disappointment does not even come close to how I feel. Thank you so so much on behalf of all those dissatisfied. 👎 👎 Great not customer service.

Use the other entrance , so no sign or notice up telling customers. I am absolutely fed up with the way I am treated every time I unfortunately visit the store , as I’m just up the road . I would very much like to get the store shut down , due to the disgusting attitude off the staff , everyone who visits that place is a customer, who looks to spend money in that place , but I expect the staff our rude , and nasty , and arrogant to everyone who enters that place . Not good at all . I shall try local charity shops instead .

I am gad I checked out this charity before making another donation, I have given to it in the past but I will not be making any further donations based on these reviews
1 star is being to kind
1 star is being to kind
A terrible charity that is all talk , give wrong advise and gives false hope ,
Another pretentious charity.
Another so called charity making a fortune off of veterans. The truth is they are very ignorant and selfish people. They are disingenuous, all they want is your data and your personal information.They are well known to be a corrupt organisation.
Joke of a charity
As a disabled war veteran I've dealt with many military charities. H4H are by far the worst bunch of money grabbing clowns I've ever had the displeasure to deal with. Poorly managed, not helpful at all and to be actively avoided.

Cheer up
Everytime I have taken my donations to the Abingdon site, there's is no welcome just met with glum faces, no thankyou for my donations, no smile, what a miserable bunch,will take my items somewhere else that are more welcoming.

Too political
Lost all my support & quite a few others when they started becoming political & returning donations as they didn’t like the person donating them.
