More about Stoll
The Chelsea Supporters’ Trust have teamed up with Stoll to support services to homeless, vulnerable and disabled veterans.
Stoll houses Veterans who live with physical injuries and suffer from traumatic mental health conditions – often due to experiences that happened during their service. They also support Veterans to tackle addictions including drug and alcohol abuse.
The current cost-of-living crisis in the UK is also driving Stoll’s vulnerable Veterans into poverty. Rises in food and utility costs affects both Veterans in low paid work and those claiming benefits. The pandemic caused financial hardship for most of Stoll’s Veterans as their savings diminished – and dealing with debt intensifies the complex mental health conditions that so many of their Veterans experience. This is placing a huge demand on Stoll’s Support Team as more Veterans are reaching out for help
By raising money during The Big Stamford Bridge Sleep Out you will be helping Stoll to play a lead role in managing the impact of the crisis on their Veterans. The team help almost 300 Veterans with debt advice, support applying for benefits, referrals to specialist mental health services, individual counselling and access to a range of health and wellbeing activities.
“The money raised from last year’s The Big Stamford Bridge Sleep Out was incredible – and made a real impact on the support we were able to offer our Veterans. We are looking forward to working with the Chelsea Supporters’ Trust – and everyone taking part in this year’s event and on behalf of everyone at Stoll I would like to say a huge THANK YOU.”
