We’re excited to launch our newly funded service for beneficiaries to receive up to ten physiotherapy sessions with a local therapist of their own choosing. The new service increases the charity’s range of physical rehabilitation services, which also includes intensive residential support through joint working with Police Treatment Centres and Fire Fighters Charity treatment centres.
