SSAFA Forces Help has been serving the Armed Forces and their families for well over a 100 years and work that is as vital
today as it has ever been. The continually evolving support services SSAFA Forces Help provide are driven by the current
needs of the Service community. They are particularly relevant in today's high pressure military environment, where
our contemporary veterans and serving personnel alike often experience different problems from the soldiers, sailors and
airmen of earlier conflicts. Reservists too, heavily engaged in current operations, have equal call on our services.
SSAFA Forces Help can help if you have a Service connection and support those who serve in our Armed Forces and those who
used to serve - even if it was only for a single day. Dependants of those who served are also cared for.
The support offered reflect the financial, practical and emotional issues people face today and they are freely available
to virtually everybody with a Service connection. Whatever your status, you can be certain that SSAFA Forces Help
will treat your enquiry as confidential and ensure that you are always treated with dignity and respect.
