Aquila Selects Combat Stress as Charity Partner for 2020

Combat Stress is the UK’s leading charity for veterans’ mental health. For over a century they have helped former servicemen and women overcome mental health issues. Today they focus on delivering specialist treatment and support to veterans who have several severe mental health conditions such as complex post-traumatic stress disorder.

The charity offers a range of specialist treatments to support veterans. Their highly trained staff, specialising in psychological and psychiatric treatments and occupational therapies, are able to help the most unwell veterans. 

We are very proud to be supporting the great work of this incredible charity.

We share their vision which is: “For all former servicemen and women with complex mental health problems to live full and meaningful lives.”  They have four strong values which we feel we can relate to, these are:

Together: We are united in purpose, collaborative in action. 

Focused: We're clear about what we will and won't do to deliver the best outcomes.

Bold: We'll do and say what we must to achieve our organisation's vision.

Personal: We respect diversity and appreciate everyone's individual needs and talents.

We think they are a great fit for Aquila.

During the course of the next year or two, we will announce ways in which Aquila employees can help us raise funds for this amazing charity. Our first fundraising event is Ride to Victory, a virtual bicyle ride, where a team of Aquila employees will take on the challenge of cycling 75 miles.
