We believe that with the right support and resources everybody can create a life that feels meaningful irrespective of the presence of symptoms.

We’re taking action to prevent coastal drownings in the UK through our water safety campaigns and aim to tackle the global drowning epidemic through our International programmes.
As a charity, we rely on voluntary donations to fund our work, and have saved over 140,000 lives since we launched in 1824.

SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity, has been providing practical, emotional, and financial support to our Forces and their families since 1885. Last year our teams of volunteers and employees helped more than 79,000 people in need, from Second World War veterans to those who have served in more recent conflicts or are still currently serving, and their families.
SSAFA understands that behind every uniform is a person. And we are here for that person and their family – any time they need us, in any way they need us, for as long as they need us.
