The Armed Forces Charity is seeking volunteers in Aylesbury Vale

The Armed Forces charity provides financial, practical and emotional support for serving personnel, veterans and military families across the UK and worldwide.

The Covid-19 outbreak and pandemic has had a huge impact on the Armed Forces community, with many more seeking help than ever before. SSAFA’s incredible network of over 5,000 volunteers are crucial in supporting those hit hardest by the pandemic.

The local SSAFA branch is in need of a range of volunteer roles, such as a Branch Secretary and Branch Treasurer. The Branch Secretary will manage the branch and provide support to all volunteers, as well as oversee casework and ensure clients are getting the best possible support.

Or how about looking after the finances for the local SSAFA service in your area? The Branch Treasurer plays a key role encompassing book keeping and financial administration.

SSAFA spokesperson: “Our network of trained volunteers are at the heart of our work. Our volunteers are more important now than ever as we face even more challenges, both physically and financially, and continue to support those who need our help.”

The roles are varied, flexible and very rewarding, giving back to those that have served. Previous experience isn’t necessary as training will be provided. All backgrounds and experiences are welcomed, and a military background is not essential.

Everyone who offers their time to volunteer with SSAFA makes a huge difference.

If you are interested in volunteering for SSAFA, please contact your local Branch on 01494 538 256 or visit www.ssafa.org.uk/Buckinghamshire
