Helping those suffering from psychological injury following
their service in HM Forces. Demand for specialist treatment
is at an all time high with increasing deployment of military
personnel to Afghanistan. This, when added to the significant
numbers of men and women returning from Iraq with psychological
injuries, has made it more important that Combat Stress has the
financial resources necessary to meet the bigger challenge. Combat
Stress has told the Towergate Charitable Foundation how the
donations helped in 2009. Read more for details.
