About our cause

SSAFA: The Armed Forces Charity provides a much loved and valued service for the community in Wolverhampton.

SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity is the oldest and most trusted source of support for serving personnel, veterans, and their families in their time of need. We provide practical, emotional, and financial support for people at any stage in their military career; from the youngest recruit to the oldest veteran – no one’s service is ever forgotten. 

The veteran community in the Wolverhampton has some of the most vulnerable people in our society. We provide tailored home visits by trained volunteers who have knowledge of Service life themselves and who can develop trust with our beneficiaries through personal, compassionate, and confidential conversations.

Hardship, addiction, relationship breakdown, debt, homelessness, post-traumatic stress, depression, and disability are all issues affecting members of our Armed Forces community. Whatever they’re facing, our Forces and their families can rely on SSAFA and our personalised support to help them through it, for as long as it takes to get that person’s life back to where they want it to be.

Covid-19 inflicted emotional exhaustion and financial uncertainty throughout our society; and those in the Armed Forces community are no exception. Without pause from the pandemic’s harm and destruction, the spiraling cost of living has become a full-blown crisis for those in the Armed Forces family who were already struggling. 

There is an urgent need now to provide greater support in Wolverhampton, with over 30% increase in calls to our helpline in recent months compared to the same period last year,  callers are now mentioning significant challenges of not being able to afford to eat or pay energy bills. We need to raise funds to ensure that the needs of the Armed Forces, veterans and their families are met in an appropriate and timely way, relieving need, suffering and to support their independence and dignity.

We need your help so we can continue to offer and even expand our service in Wolverhampton!

Thank you for your support and good luck!

Yours sincerely,

Emma Buckingham
