HELP for Heroes will be at Asda in Tilbury and in Lakeside this weekend to raise cash and support for the Armed Forces charity.

Local volunteer Gemma Lowry will be at Tilbury with volunteers dressed as Marines. She said: “It’s just a fun way to get local people involved and try to fundraise for the charity.”

Supporters will be collecting there and at Lakeside with buckets and selling H4H merchandise.

The event is part of the Asda National Collection Weekend for Help for Heroes.
