Some 300 people recently attended a Help for Heroes-supporting family fun day at Woodley Green's The Bull & Chequers pub, Reading.<\/p>\n

"It was a great day and we had quite a good turnout," team leader Tim Stanfield told news provider getreading.<\/p>\n

He said that the pub began its support for Help for Heros as some of the people who regularly visit it used to be service people.<\/p>\n

Speaking earlier this month, he also said that the pub planned a kart race in mid September as another fundraiser.<\/p>\n

Close to £600 was brought in for Help for Heroes (H4H) all in all at the August 23rd fun day, the news provider reports.<\/p>\n

It was the fourth such event that the pub has held for the charity, with Rachel Bridge and Gavin Knight – landlady and landlord – cooking on the BBQ during the occasion.<\/p>\n

There was an inflatable play area for the children, as well as a coconut shy, raffle and DJs, while the Basil & Crew mobile farm brought creatures for people to meet.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the country, there's an art installation in place that is also helping Help for Heroes.<\/p>\n

Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red at the Tower of London in the capital features ceramic poppies which are being sold at £25 each to support H4H as well as the likes of the Confederation of Service Charities and Combat Stress.<\/p>\n

More than 800,000 poppies are being put in place in the moat of the Tower as part of the installation, which is tied in with the First World War's centenary.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, it was visited by Prince Harry and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-801750649-ADNFCR\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
