Charities We Support
In June 2011, United Press launched the Charity Aid Project, raising over £85,000 in one year! The success of this new venture took our fundraising total to £300,000 in the last ten years. You can find out more about Charity Aid here.
Below are details of a few of the charities that we currently support. Follow the links to see exactly what we have done to support them and how you can help.

Help For Heroes was founded in October 2007 out of a desire to help the wounded Servicemen and women returning from Afghanistan and Iraq. After many requests, we launched a charity poetry competition in aid of Help For Heroes. Click here for more information about the competition for H4H.
