The Black Stork Charity, or The DNRC Charity as it is also now known, was established in May 2011 to raise funds and facilitate the Defence and National Rehabilitation (DNRC) Programme. The DNRC concept had been established in the pan-Government Feasibility Study in 2010 (funded by the 6th Duke of Westminster). It envisaged creation of a bespoke Defence rehab facility replacing the existing Headley Court and the opportunity to create a national facility on the same site. The concept was endorsed by Government in a written statement to Parliament in 2011.
