Why Combat Stress exists

 

The Unitarian Women`s League is raising funds for Combat Stress

as their main project in 2011 to 2012.

 

 

Combat Stress is the UK's leading military charity specialising in the care of Veterans' mental health.

We look after men and women who are suffering from a psychological condition related to their Service career. This might be depression, anxiety, a phobia or PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). Our services are free of charge to the Veteran.

 

 

Since 2005 the number of ex-Service men and women seeking our help has risen by 72%. We have a current caseload of more than 4,600 individuals – including 159 Afghanistan and 517 Iraq Veterans.

In March 2010 our Patron HRH The Prince of Wales launched The Enemy Within Appeal on behalf of Combat Stress.

 

 

This three-year fundraising campaign is designed to help us treat the escalating number of psychologically injured
