Thank you to our volunteers for making all this happen and for raising awareness of SSAFA in our area! For more information about the work we do as a branch, you can see our website: https://t.co/vD2q9UidrX
Volunteers from London SW Branch have been busy raising awareness of SSAFA in Richmond. The Branch had a stall at the Richmond Full of Life Fair held at Twickenham rugby stadium. This was an opportunity to explain to visitors to the fair how we support the military community.
The stall led to a meeting with a local MP, @RuthCadbury. This was a great opportunity for us to tell Ruth about our work and cases we have dealt with. Ruth was very interested, asked lots of questions, and took away some of our leaflets to give to her caseworkers!
Attending the @TH_Festival on Sunday 8 Sept? Pass by the @SSAFA London SW stall to learn more about the support we provide to serving personnel, veterans and their families in their time of need.
We’re pleased to share that our volunteers, Sue Foster and Dame Sylvia Morris DBE, have been presented with The Sir James Gildea Awards for their outstanding work in @SSAFA London SW Branch. A very well done to Sue and Sylvia for their outstanding work!

Wishing all a Merry Christmas and heartfelt thanks for supporting the Armed Forces community! 🎁 Your generosity has made a difference, and as we celebrate this festive season, remember that our support continues into the new year. Thanks! 🎄
We recently paid a visit to 150 Recovery Platoon @Official_REME in Croydon as part our drive to create awareness about the support @SSAFA provides locally. Very productive discussions & we look forward to working together to make a positive impact in the #Croydon area.
They shall not grow old, as we who are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
