The Army Benevolent Fund has awarded £280,000 to Combat Stress to support specialist mental health services for Army veterans and their families.
The funding will help deliver clinical assessment, treatment and ongoing support for those experiencing conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), enabling greater access to evidence-based care.
Combat Stress said the grant will support its work in providing tailored treatment programmes aimed at helping veterans recover and rebuild their lives, particularly those with complex mental health needs.

Chloe Mackay, chief executive of Combat Stress, said the funding would play a vital role in sustaining services that are often “life-changing, and often life-saving” for veterans and their families.
Peter Monteith, chief operating officer at the Army Benevolent Fund, said supporting mental health and wellbeing remains a priority, adding that the charity is continuing its partnership with Combat Stress to ensure former soldiers receive appropriate care.
The grant forms part of ongoing efforts across the Armed Forces charity sector to expand access to specialist mental health support for veterans across the UK.
