Operational Welfare Fund

Charity

SSAFA Forces Help - Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Families Association (SSAFA) - Forces Help is the national charity helping and supporting those who serve in the British Armed Forces, those who used to serve, and the families of both. One day’s paid service is all that is needed to qualify for our assistance. SSAFA Forces Help has been serving the Armed Forces and their families for almost 125 years and our work is as vital today as it has ever been. Our continually evolving support services 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. From the provision of Health and Social services, to supporting the ex-Service community; from running a confidential support line, to delivering holidays for children with additional needs. We cover a very broad spectrum of issues as you will see on What we do or download our general factsheet. We try to bring our solutions to the widest audience possible - anybody whose life has been touched by time in the Armed Forces. If you have a Service connection, then we can offer our support. It is a matter of pride that we spread our net as widely as possible and we will always try to respond to cases of genuine need, whether they are financial, practical or emotional.

Many thanks for visiting the Operational Welfare Fund fundraising page. To donate to the fund please click on the link below. 

Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Families Association (SSAFA) - Forces Help is the national charity helping and supporting those who serve in the British Armed Forces, those who used to serve, and the families of both. One day’s paid service is all that is needed to qualify for our assistance.

In partnership with the Ministry of Defence, SSAFA has set up a new Operational Welfare Fund dedicated to providing support to the front line. Although the MOD provides a comprehensive Deployment Welfare Package which includes; a free mail service, 30 minutes of telephone calls a week and Internet access, there are still areas where life can be improved. The priority for spending from this fund will be set by the commanders in order to meet areas of greatest need.

Life in the Services is full of opportunity, but it can also bring challenges – pressures of living in conflict situations, new postings, leaving families behind.... The battlefield brings along additional worries and pressures for our troops and they need our support most at this time. If you decide to contribute to SSAFA’s Operational Welfare Fund, you will be helping to improve the quality of life for our brave Servicemen and women currently in theatre in Iraq or Afghanistan. On their behalf, thank you so much for your gift.
