So if you've ever served in the Army, RAF or Royal Navy, we're here for you and your family when you need help. That's for both Regulars and Reserves - whatever your age or length of service. We have volunteer case workers located acros

Help with the loss of a loved one - If you lose someone who has previously served in our Armed Forces, or you are ex-Forces and have lost someone, then SSAFA is committed to giving you support. Homelessness - We know that significant number of veterans find themselves on the streets so we have developed specialist services to support them.
