Your local Armed Forces community needs you!

This January SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity, is urging the people of Devon to build on their New Year’s resolutions and learn new skills, whilst giving something back to their local Armed Forces community, by becoming a new volunteer.

In 2016, volunteers for SSAFA Devon supported 585 veterans and their families in need in the county. The military charity, which has supported currently serving members of our Armed Forces, veterans and their families for over 131 years, is seeing the requests for support from this group increase and become more complex.

SSAFA Devon operates volunteer led support services in East Devon – Honiton & Axminster, Exeter inc Exminster, Mid Devon inc Crediton & Tiverton, North Devon & Torridge, South Hams, Teignbridge and West Devon. The most vital need is for new volunteer caseworkers who directly deliver the support and that need is currently most acute in Mid Devon, Exeter, North Devon, South Hams and East Devon.

If you are interested in joining your local SSAFA Devon team, please visit www.ssafa.org.uk/newrecruits or call 0800 032 5612.
