The Army Benevolent Fund (ABF) has awarded a grant of £280,000 to Combat Stress, to help deliver its life‑changing, and often life‑saving, specialist mental health services to veterans in need.
This grant will help enable the treatment of Army veterans and their families, supporting access to evidence‑based clinical care for those experiencing mental health conditions such as post‑traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The funding will help Combat Stress continue to provide specialist assessment, treatment and support, ensuring that veterans and their families receive the help they need to recover and rebuild their lives.
Chloe Mackay, CEO at Combat Stress, said:
“We’re extremely grateful to the Army Benevolent Fund for continuing to support us, and the Army veterans we treat, with this generous grant. The ABF’s support is vital in allowing us to continue to provide our life‑changing, and often life‑saving, treatment. This funding will make a real difference to the lives of veterans and their families across the UK.”
Peter Monteith, Chief Operating Officer, the Army Benevolent Fund, added:
“Supporting and enabling the mental health and wellbeing of soldiers, veterans and their families is a priority for the Army Benevolent Fund. We are proud to again provide funding that helps our long-standing partner, Combat Stress, to deliver its much-needed and evidence-based services helping former soldiers with complex PTSD and other mental health-related conditions.”
