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.

Last year we received over 1,400 new referrals. We have a current caseload of more than 4,600 individuals – including 168 Afghanistan and 533 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 Veterans who are turning to us for help, by:

·         Establishing 14 Community Outreach teams nationwide

·         Enhancing clinical treatment at our three short-stay treatment centres
