One day's paid service in any of our Armed Forces is all that is needed for you and your dependants to be eligible for assistance from SSAFA Forces Help.
Close relatives, widows, widowers and divirced partners of the person who served are also often eligible. |
| What we do: | |
|
We take action, on request, whenever there is hardship, loneliness or need. The help we give varies enormously; from financial assistance - such as paying a heating bill for a widow or assistance with the costs of household effects - to help for children with additional needs, to emotional support for the lonely, ill or bereaved. In all cases, the criterion for our assistance is need and our support and advice are completely confidential. |
