Actor Ross Kemp has just been made a patron of the charity; he said he felt "incredibly humbled".
"This is a fantastic opportunity for us as civilians to show our appreciation of the men and women that do such an extraordinary job on our behalf," he said.
Ross added that support was not only needed for service personnel with visible injuries, but that many more would develop post-traumatic stress disorder in the coming years because of their experiences.
"£17m in 17 months isn't a bad thing to have achieved.
"If you listen to some of the stories, it doesn't matter whether it's a girl who's given up her Christmas money or a private donation of £100,000," he said. |
