Help for ex mil = THINK SSAFA-FORCES HELP
We exist to help ex mil and dependants but subject to interview and means test (for financial help).
Celebrating 125 years in existence in 2010
I'm a Case Worker with local SSAFA and have not yet failed to get assistance for any of my clients - never had ex Sapper client so far tho'.
We quite often fund wheelchairs, mobility scooters, chair lifts, funeral expenses etc and quite often obtain funds to resolve some debts. Sometimes we can help with holidays and all sort of other things. We don't provide funding for items a client has already bought and paid for
If you know of ex mil/dependants needing help, then get them to contact their local SSAFA office. Should be noted obtaining funding from providers is not 'instant'. Normally cash is not given to clients tho in some circumstances some funds might decide to provide a monthly grant to a client.
NB: To help clients with funding we approach the relevant Mil Funds or Civvy Charities. SSAFA does not have it's own funds to assist clients except in a real emergency.
WE NEED VOLUNTEERS FOR ALL SORT OF JOBS. EXPENSES ARE PAID. TRAINING IS GIVEN
