This week is #VolunteersWeek (1-7 June). Meet Elsie Cobb, who has volunteered with @SSAFA in South-East England over the last four years as a Digital Marketing/Community Engagement Volunteer.

She started volunteering as she wanted to get more experience in digital marketing for a local cause and have an impact where she lives.

Elsie says: "I've truly loved my four years at SSAFA. I had only just turned 18 when I started volunteering with you, and I'll always appreciate how kind and welcoming everyone in the branch has been to me. The skills and confidence I've gained while at SSAFA have helped me a lot in my life, and I want you to know how grateful I am that I've been a part of the organisation."

Thank you so much Elsie, for all you’ve done to support SSAFA!
