The Vacancy

At Help for Heroes, we help the Armed Forces community live well after service.

Life can be tough when a military career comes to an end, especially if it has been cut short by illness or injury.

There are many ways we help veterans, their relatives, serving personnel, and people who worked alongside the UK military. We help people with their physical and mental health needs, and a range of welfare issues. Our support gives people the skills, confidence, and knowledge to make a success of life after service.

And who are we you’re wondering? We are experts and beginners. Generalists and specialists. Ordinary people with an extraordinary passion towards making a positive change to the lives of our veterans (and having fun while doing it).

Resurgo’s mission is to inspire and equip organisations to bring about ambitious and sustainable social change. We use our expertise in coaching and impact management to equip and empower businesses, churches, and individuals. 

About the Team

The Philanthropy team is a close-knit team of seven who work with High Net-Worth individuals, Trusts and Foundations, and Individual donors, raising over 60% of Resurgo’s income (currently around £2.2million). They each play a key role in building and stewarding partnerships to secure income that will sustain the Spear Programme. They work individually as well as collaboratively, to ambitiously reach their target and have fun whilst doing it!
