‘Healing the Wounds’
Golden Grove Appeal (Healing the Wounds) has been launched for the purpose of raising the funds needed to enable the purchase of a suitable facility within Wales for the treatment of our Armed Forces Personnel, Veterans and their families, who are suffering from stress related illnesses such as PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) and to provide a convalescent home to allow them to heal and recover from the traumas of conflict.
Golden Grove Mansion has become available for purchase with 100 acres of Country Park, which would provide a peaceful and beautiful environment that would be the perfect place for recovery.
However, if the sale of the property does not materialize, ‘Healing the Wounds’ charity will continue to raise the funds needed for the purpose of searching for an alternative suitable property to facilitate treatments and convalescence for our Armed Forces Personnel, Veterans and their families.
This is and shall always remain the prime objective of the charity.

The History of the Mansion...
Golden Grove Mansion was actually used as a hospital for American troops during the Second World War. It was first built in 1560 as the seat of the Vaughan family, descendants of the Princes of Powys. Two hundred years ago it passed to Lord Cawdor and the present mansion was rebuilt in 1834.
In later years it housed an agricultural college, but is now empty. There are more than 150 rooms and the basic structure is sound.
It is a grade II listed building within a 100 acre conservation area and the grounds include a wooded public recreation area, a visitor centre and cafe.

First Target
I am fully behind the project being a disabled ex-serviceman myself who has had to come to terms with a disability and the depression that followed. Had there been a place such as you wish to provide, my transition to civilian life would, I believe have been a lot easier.
