Our network of branch volunteers brings a mix of diverse skills and community connections that significantly contribute to SSAFA’s ability to make a meaningful difference to the lives of serving personnel, veterans and their families in their time of need.

Your main focus will be to help raise awareness of SSAFA amongst the local community.

There are a wide range of opportunities within this volunteer role to suit most interests. If you enjoy meeting people and organising or getting involved in community events, enjoy public speaking or if you are a good administrator and organiser, SSAFA would love to hear from you.

Opportunities include: • Creating awareness and fundraising initiatives. • Delivering presentations to a variety of audiences from students to local businesses and community groups. • Distributing promotional materials, posters and flyers across the community. • Attending local events • Social media marketing • Ensuring that all activities comply with SSAFA polices and fundraising regulations.

You will act as an ambassador for SSAFA.
