Caterham and Tandridge SSAFA appeal: The armed forces charity

Do you know someone who has served in the Armed Forces who needs support? Then help is just a phone call away.

SSAFA is a national military charity. Our support covers both regulars and reserves in the British Army, the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force and their families, including anyone who has completed National Service. They are all entitled to lifelong support from SSAFA, no matter how long they have served.

Every year we support around 60,000 people – that’s about 165 every day.

If you need help, or know someone who could benefit, then your local Caterham and Tandridge SSAFA team would like to hear from you.

Qualification for help is simple. Anyone who has completed one day’s paid service in the Armed Forces including Reservists, or those that did National Service may apply, as well as their widows/widowers, or their dependent children.

SSAFA has helped many well-deserving cases to obtain disability equipment, respite breaks, basic kitchen equipment, furniture, and has assisted in finding accommodation. We have even helped arrange gardening.

Our trained caseworkers are non-judgmental, friendly any information given is treated on a confidential basis.

If you think you require help or know someone that does, please contact Paul Barlow on 01883 330566 or Johnny van der Merwe on 01342 833416. Alternatively, for more information, please visit our website www.ssafa.org.uk/surrey
