Profits support the charity in delivering help for people who have become ill or injured in service.<\/p>\n<p>Debenhams has donated the charity's latest retail space for free, and it's intended that further concessions will follow during the next few months, with Help for Heroes areas appearing in other UK Debenhams branches.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;We are delighted to be able to offer Help for Heroes concession space within our stores, in what is a real first for Debenhams,&quot; said CEO Michael Sharp.<\/p>\n<p>Debenhams stores are not just located in the UK. In fact the brand has shops in 28 different countries, and 240 retail locations to its name overall.<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-801719393-ADNFCR\"
