We are simply thrilled that our Chairman and founder Colonel Tony Gauvain (retired) was announced the Winner of the Healthcare & Rehabilitation Award at the Soldiering On Awards in London last night! It looked like a fabulous evening!

So inspiring and so, so well-deserved - huge congratulations Tony!

- The Healthcare & Rehabilitation Award honours those who have demonstrated a major commitment to the welfare of the Armed Forces community.

“Tony Gauvain had a distinguished career in the Army for 32 years, finally retiring in 1990. This included, as commanding officer of the Cheshire Regiment, a two-year tour in Northern Ireland, where he saw first-hand the tragic loss of life and mental and physical trauma that can be associated with military service. At the Dropping Well bombing, seventeen people died - eleven were soldiers in his command.

“Having left the Army, Tony discovered that there was an opportunity to widen access to treatment for mental health and trauma therapy for veterans, reservists and their families. So, he went about training to become a qualified therapist and with another newly qualified therapist, Piers Bishop, established the charity PTSD Resolution in 2009.

“Tony has run the charity as CEO and Chair and receives no payment for the time he gives. He set up a UK-wide network of 200 registered therapists, sourced trustees who were passionate about veteran mental health, and raised the money to pay for the therapy required. Since 2009, over 3600 veterans, reservists and their families have been helped.”
