The primary aim of the H4 Heroes 'Musical Spectacular' in Culross is to raise funds for the Help for Heroes Charity - and with minimum administrative costs - in this case 'Every Penny Counts.'

The event will also confirm support for our Armed Forces and enhance the quality of life those Service Personnel wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as showcasing the Royal Burgh of Culross.

H4H is a non-political National Charity set up in 2007 to raise funds for Service Personnel (Navy, Army and Air Force) wounded in recent conflicts in Afghanistan & Iraq. It is mainly staffed by volunteers with minimum administration costs - for more details, visit the H4H website here.

The charity is working towards building a new army convalescent home in Edinburgh to house 12 soldiers while they launch back to their normal lives after sustaining injuries. If successful, this is planned to be the first of up to seven new homes around the country.

Since its launch in October 2007 H4H has already raised over £20million in 19 months, with over £13 million already paid out.
