The Veterans’ Foundation awards Combat Stress funding to further support veterans across the UK
Combat Stress has been awarded a £30,000 grant by The Veterans’ Foundation, to help fund our life-changing specialist services across the UK.
On average 73% of veterans who undertake our treatment recover. This is an incredible impact and significantly above the recovery rate for PTSD of other mental health services.
The grant will help us to ensure that veterans, struggling with complex mental health issues, will continue to receive the best possible treatment and support.
Chloe Mackay, CEO of Combat Stress, said: "PTSD does not go away on its own, it requires specialist treatment and support from those with knowledge and understanding of what veterans have experienced.
“We have the most successful treatment outcomes in the UK, and thanks to funding from the Veterans Foundation, we can continue to change the lives of those who turn to us for help.”
Jane Gurney, CEO of The Veterans’ Foundation, said: “We are proud to be supporting Combat Stress, the UK’s leading charity for veterans’ mental health, to ensure that former service personnel are able to access and receive the expert care they need to manage the psychological impact of their military service."
The Veterans’ Foundation is one of the UK’s fastest-growing military charities, established in 2016 to support serving and former members of the Armed Forces, operationally qualified seafarers, and their families who are in need. Since its launch, the Foundation has awarded over £30 million in grants to nearly 500 charities and organisations delivering more than 1,000 life-changing projects across the UK.
