About us

When anyone in the Armed Forces community finds themselves in need, SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity is the organisation they can turn to. Whether it’s financial, practical or emotional, we provide the right kind of support, ensuring independence and dignity is protected at all times.

Our trained welfare advisors and volunteers work with each person to find out exactly what they need. Once we’ve assessed what is required, we’ll help the individual or family access the support they need. This may just be someone to listen to them, but, more often than not, we access financial assistance from statutory and military benevolent funds or foundations that we work with. In addition, we signpost to our other charity partners who can give much needed assistance to help people get their lives back on track.

And it is only thanks to the incredible fundraising efforts of our supporters that we can continue to give the best care to our brave men and women who have risked and sacrificed so much for us all.
