Healing Hands Network
Healing Hands Network is a small UK based charity dedicated to the relief of suffering caused by war
and its aftermath. They have been working in Sarajevo in Bosnia since 1997, sending volunteer complementary
therapists to treat people suffering from the physical and emotional after effects of the Balkan
war.
Last year they started a project in the UK, in collaboration with Combat Stress, working with returning
service personnel at their drop-in centres East Anglia, London and Liverpool. They are also working with
SSAFA in Birmingham.
The drop-in centres are usually held fortnightly or monthly. Attendees have the opportunity to
call in over the space of two or three hours to receive advice, information, support from other military
charities such as the Royal British Legion and free treatments from volunteer therapists. Many of the
veterans are suffering from mental trauma or PTSD and some also have physical conditions from their
time in active service.
