HELP for Heroes yesterday demanded extra government funding to help a handful of critically injured troops.
At least a dozen veterans have such complex battle wounds — including severe brain injuries — that they need round-the-clock care.
The charity has published a report and called on ministers to set aside £600,000 a year to support them. Among those in need is former Corporal Simon “Frankie” Vaughan, 32, of Shropshire.
He suffered collapsed lungs, a broken back and pelvis plus brain injuries that left him in a coma for weeks when a buried bomb blew his armoured truck in half in Afghanistan in 2008.
His care team is paid for by the Libor fines levied on the bank industry from 2012 — but the cash will run out in three years.
Help for Heroes’ head of welfare Carol Betteridge said: “Many of the very seriously injured are determined to live as full a life as possible.

“We want to work with the MoD, NHS and local authorities to ensure they are cared for. But the project urgently needs funding.”
Insiders say a new package for the dozen or so troops requiring extra care now is close to being finalised.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

SATC star Kim swears by gym sessions with Russian kettle bells (traditional cast-iron weights) and the South Beach Diet to give her the body she wants. To avoid overeating, Kim has a radical diet trick – squirting lemon juice on her leftovers – so she won’t carry on picking.
Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
