Scottish Government announce funding for Combat Stress’ specialist services
11 December 2025
Yesterday at our Glasgow Hub, we were pleased to welcome Graeme Dey MSP, Minister for Parliamentary Business and Veterans, to announce Scottish Government funding towards Combat Stress' services in Scotland.
This support will help ensure that veterans in Scotland can access specialist, evidence-based treatment when they need it.
During the visit, the Minister met with our clinical team and took part in discussions about the challenges veterans face and how Combat Stress treatment is transforming lives. He also heard directly from a veteran who shared their experience of treatment.
Chloe Mackay, CEO of Combat Stress, said: “We’re extremely grateful to the Scottish Government for helping us to continue our specialist support for veterans’ mental health, and to everyone involved in the visit. This funding will help ensure that veterans in Scotland can access specialist, evidence-based treatment when they need it.”
Graeme Dey MSP, Minister for Parliamentary Business and Veterans, said: “The Scottish Government is committed to ensuring all veterans are able to access the best possible care and support, including safe, effective and person-centred healthcare.
“This funding will support Combat Stress in providing a virtual mental health service in Scotland’s eight health board areas not currently providing specific mental health support for veterans for the remainder of this financial year.”
