We are the Herefordshire branch of SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity, providing trusted support to our Forces and their families.

Formed in 1885, SSAFA, the Armed Forces Charity provides lifelong support to our Armed Forces, veterans and their families. With over 130 years' experience we continue to work to understand and adapt to the needs of our beneficiaries and the issues they face. This year our staff and teams of volunteers have helped over 67,000 people across the UK, offering practical, emotional and financial support for serving personnel, veterans and families. This includes regulars, reserves and anyone who completed National Service.

We're sharing a few of SSAFA Herefordshire's 'Community Day' photo highlights from last weekend's Hereford Military History Festival - Britain's only literary festival dedicated to military history.

The weekend was a great success and yesterday we met many veterans and supporters of SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity. Our Patron, His Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant of Herefordshire (Herefordshire Lieutenancy), Edward Harley CBE, also paid us a visit.

Whilst the British weather was a bit turbulent, with intermittent wind and rain, that did not deter the public from attending the fantastic community day!
