Hi guys
Not in the habit of sending things like this But.........
SSAFA are in the process of purchasing a house near Headley Court to allow next of kin to stay for short periods of time to visit their relatives, injured servicemen, undergoing treatment at the Defence medical rehabilitation centre (DMRC).
Local residents have made an objection. Please have a look at the press reports.
If you would like to support SSAFA and injured servicemen and there families, please consider signing the petition.
I am a civilian Occupational Therapist who works with these servicemen at Headley Court, (many of which have had serious injuries, including amputation) and I know how much they appreciate contact with their families and how beneficial it can be to their treatment. A new 30 bed ward has just been opened to manage an increasing numbers of casualties, which means this facility is needed even more.
Please feel free to pass this on to anyone else you feel would like to support this cause
Cheers
Dekker
