About Us

From Chief Executive, Wing Commander David Hill:

Over the last 90 years, Combat Stress has led the way in providing cutting-edge support to Veterans suffering from mental ill health. We are now poised to step-change the work that we do for Veterans and, as a consequence, the next few years in our history are likely to be as exciting and innovative as the first.

With the Armed Forces being asked to continue their high operational tempo, Combat Stress is being approached by more and more Veterans who are seeking our unique help: since 2005 we have seen a 72% increase in new referrals.

There are many challenges ahead, including how best to meet the needs of the Veterans we care for and how Combat Stress, as a charity, can meet the ever increasing cost of providing these services.

Combat Stress is a much needed and extremely professional organisation. We are indebted to all of our donors and supporters who have contributed to our success over the last 90 years. There is still much to be done and we will need to continue to ask for your help in order to provide the best care we can to those brave men and women who need it.

With very best wishes,

David Hill
