A traumatic experience during the first Gulf War left Army veteran Guy with serious mental health issues. He became angry, started drinking heavily and wanted to end it all. Knowing he needed help, Guy called our Helpline and received our life-changing treatment. Today Guy has a new lease of life and is a steadfast Combat Stress supporter, helping us in a wide variety of ways. In recognition of his unwavering support, last year he was named our Veteran Volunteer of the Year for everything he does to give back to the charity. “I can’t sugarcoat it,” he says. “If it wasn’t for Combat Stress, I’m not sure I’d still be here.” You can read more about how Guy turned his life around here: https://ow.ly/3f4W50Vuz6L

Guy, your journey is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to seek help, and that no one should face their battles alone. Seeing how Combat Stress supported you at your lowest point, and how you’re now paying it forward, is truly inspiring. Congratulations on being named Veteran Volunteer of the Year; you’ve earned this recognition through your dedication and resilience. Thank you, Combat Stress for all you do to help veterans rediscover hope and purpose. Keep up the incredible work!
You’re a real trooper mate. Right through our nursery, primary, junior and the intensity of teenage hood and adult life. We’ve been there, seen it and done it all to the best of our ability. Well done buddy.
