Headley Court, the MoD’s rehabilitation centre based in Leatherhead, Surrey has received £24m from the Government to improve facilities at the centre, last nights City Salute was also raising funds for funds for the Centre to build a new swimming pool.
The centre does a great job in rehabilitating members of the armed forces who have been injured not only in combat but in other situations as well.
Going back a few years now, there was two centres Headley Court and RAF Chessington, Headley Court was for Officers and Chessington was for other ranks.
After a serious injury I spent several months there, the treatment and care I received was second to none. It was so good that sporting bodies sent some of their athletes there; it was considered the best in the country. The staff there deserve all the credit they get, they do a great job, any thing to make they job easier would be fully appreciated by them and by the patients they treat.
