What is a Serving Community Team Volunteering Coordinator?
There is a SSAFA presence throughout the serving community, both in the UK and overseas.

In many areas, SSAFA have Serving Community Teams which offer financial, practical, and emotional support to serving personnel and their families.

Each team is formed of a group of trained volunteers who make this possible.

They ensure volunteers are welcomed and supported. This role also has voting rights for the grant giving process.

What difference will you make?
Volunteers are the lifeblood of SSAFA. We have been involving volunteers in supporting the Armed Forces community for more than 130 years.

Our beneficiaries come from all backgrounds and age groups and the number of people contacting us for help rises each year.

To continue providing help when it's needed most, SSAFA must maintain a diverse and committed network of volunteers who are skilled, supported and valued.
