the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|The Objects of Stand Easy are:
The Advancement of Health for the public
benefit of serving members of the armed
forces, veterans and their families who are
suffering from the effects of post-Traumatic
Stress Disorder (PTSD) in particular but not
exclusively by:
• the provision of acupuncture
and
• Raising awareness of PTSD by giving of
talks and lectures| |Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or services
identified in the accounts.|Para 1.17
and 1.19|The main activities carried out by Stand
Easy is the treating of veterans and
uniformed services with PTSD with
acupuncture to remove their trauma.
Despite the pandemic and the challenging
circumstances we have adapted our
processes to minimise the time needed to
treat a client, so whereas we would treat the
veteran over 2-3 weeks we now, if possible
treat over 3 days, this allows for cheaper
transport costs and less anxiety.
Feedback from veterans’ informs us that
their quality of life has dramatically improved
and in some cases enabled them to return to
work.
Stand Easy continues to work with the NHS
providers as well as military and mental
health charities.
We have also continued to raise awareness
of PTSD and the plight of veterans with
PTSD through talks, lectures, meetings and
local providers.| |Statement confirming
