SURF Action, the award winning Cornwall based charity has recently completed its fifth residential for combat veterans suffering from physical injuries and/or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

The local charity has been developing their residential programme since December 2011 and this is the second time members have been to Bude.

They were again based at Northcott House (by kind permission of Mr David Howden) where the relaxing feel of the natural environment and the stunning coastal setting were ideal.
