Forces Representative
Status: Volunteer
Hours: The role is flexible. You can give as much or as little time as you are able. However, we do ask you ideally commit enough time to build meaningful awareness and support on your base.
About Us:
Combat Stress is the UK’s leading charity for veterans’ mental health. For over a century, we’ve helped former servicemen and women with mental health problems such as anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) through our intensive psychological rehabilitation services. The work we do is life-changing and often life-saving. No one else does what we do.
About the role: Our Forces Reps will act as the first point of contact on base for colleagues, peers, friends or family who may wish to get involved with Combat Stress. They will help raise awareness of the charity and our work, champion our fundraising initiatives, and encourage colleagues to raise as much money as possible. Income generation is key to our continued success and the support of volunteers enables us to raise more funds to support former servicemen and women, so that when a veteran is having a tough time, we’re there to help tackle the past and to help them take on the future.
