Reclaim Gift Aid

If you are a UK taxpayer, the value of your donation can increase by 25% under the Gift Aid Scheme - at no extra cost to you

I want Combat Stress to claim Gift Aid on my donation. This is a personal donation, and I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year, it is my responsibility to pay any difference.

Please note: Combat Stress can only claim Gift Aid if you provide your full first name, surname and home address. Donations made on behalf of someone else or a group of people – For example, you collect money from your friends and family offline and then donate to your fundraising page are not eligible for Gift Aid.

Seafire Taproom Boys

A group of 8 friends in their 50's & 60's will be cycling from Calais to Ghent and back again with the intention of raising a few pounds for Combat Stress. They are being sponsored by the Seafire Taproom in Lee on Solent, courtesy of the owners Chris Clark and Ken Norish.

Seven of the eight are military veterans, 3 Royal Navy, 3 Army, 1 Royal Marine, and they will have a support vehicle driven by another RN veteran. They have a combined service of 120 years. Between them they have seen active service in the Falklands Conflict, Northern Ireland, the Middle East and the Balkans.

They will be stopping overnight at Ypres both ways in order to pay their respects to fallen comrades at the Menin Gate Memorial and also visit a Military Cemetery or two.

Thank you to our Sponsors

Can’t believe you’re actually cycling from Calais to Ghent and back. Voluntarily. At your age. With that belly! It’s genuinely impressive—and mildly concerning. But seriously, fair play for taking on this challenge to support ex-military veterans and their mental health. That’s a proper cause, even if your idea of training has mostly involved drinking beer and eating chips! Good luck!
