Our appeal has been launched by ex-combat medics and a team of able volunteers, to raise the funds needed to provide crucial treatment for our mentally wounded Servicemen and women, Veterans, Emergency Services and their families.
We currently run treatment courses from our small office in Bridgend, but due to the amount of people needing our help we are rapidly outgrowing our current facility. Every day more and more sufferers are coming forward and really need the support that we can provide.
Healing the Wounds’ goal is to acquire a suitable facility for use as a convalescent home and PTSD treatment facility here in Wales. Our visitors would be given the opportunity to rest and recover from their traumas without having to travel long distances on a daily basis for treatment, which can be physically and financially demanding.
We aim to provide ‘the perfect place’ for them to heal and recover. We also want to provide facilities to accommodate families who can also be affected and allow them to be treated as a family unit.
