What a fantastic day we had at Plymouth Armed Forces Day on Saturday 27 June 2026!

A huge thank you to everyone who came along to visit the SSAFA Plymouth Serving Community Team and SSAFA Devon Branch stand. It was wonderful to meet so many members of the Armed Forces community, veterans, families and supporters, and to have the opportunity to share the work that SSAFA does across Devon to support serving personnel, veterans and their loved ones.

Our free SSAFA tattoos were a huge hit, the children loved trying their luck on our Spin the Wheel, and our colouring and message table was filled with fantastic artwork and heartfelt messages of support for our Armed Forces community.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to leave a drawing or kind message – they really meant a great deal to us.

We were also very honoured to welcome the Plymouth Lord Mayor to our stand. As a Royal Navy veteran himself, it was a privilege to share the work of SSAFA and the support we provide to the serving community, veterans and their families.

Days like this remind us of the strength of our Armed Forces community and the importance of coming together to celebrate those who serve, those who have served, and the families who stand beside them.

A huge thank you to all of our amazing volunteers who generously gave their time to make the day such a success.Your enthusiasm, commitment and willingness to engage with everyone who visited the stand made a real difference. We simply couldn't do it without you.

👀 Keep your eyes peeled over the coming days as we'll be sharing photos of our wonderful message table. See if you can spot your own message or artwork and relive some of the fantastic memories from the day!

If you spoke to us on the day and would like to find out more about volunteering with SSAFA, or if you or someone you know could benefit from our support, we'd love to hear from you.

Thank you, Plymouth, for another brilliant Armed Forces Day. We can't wait to see you again next year!

After 27 years of Army camaraderie, civvy street saw Kirk struggling to face some of life's
toughest challenges alone.

This Father’s Day, SSAFA is proud to support dads in the Armed Forces community when
life after service becomes a battle of its own.

“With these mates, I can face anything.”

✨ SSAFA Plymouth Summer Ball 2026 ✨

What a fantastic evening we enjoyed on Saturday 6th June at Stonehouse Barracks for the SSAFA Plymouth Summer Ball.

The event was a tremendous success, bringing together members of the Armed Forces community, veterans, serving personnel, families, friends, and supporters for an evening of friendship, laughter, and celebration. It was wonderful to see guests travelling from far and wide to join us and support the vital work of SSAFA.

A special mention must go to the Shipmates of HMS Arrow, who chose to hold their annual reunion alongside our Summer Ball this year. It was a pleasure to welcome them, and we were delighted to see them become the proud winners of one of our auction prizes – a private tour of HMS Courageous, generously donated by one of our own dedicated SSAFA volunteers, Bob Lemon.

We were also incredibly grateful to receive an additional auction prize on the evening from Paul Montgomery, consisting of some very special artworks commemorating Operation Overlord. Thank you for your generosity and support.

Events such as these simply would not happen without the dedication and hard work of our volunteers. A huge thank you must go to Antonia Reynolds and Bob Lemon, whose commitment, organisation, and countless hours of work helped make this year's event such a memorable success.

Finally, thank you to everyone who attended, donated, bid in the auction, and continues to support SSAFA. Your generosity enables us to continue providing practical, emotional, and financial support to serving personnel, veterans, and their families when they need us most.

We look forward to seeing you all again next year! 💙
