“Coming Home” is the fundraising campaign of Haig Housing Trust. It aims to raise £20m over five years to provide specially adapted homes for severely injured Servicemen and ex-Servicemen. Funds raised through the Coming Home Campaign will help provide a suitable and stable base from which many more injured Servicemen can start their new lives.
