**What is a Serving Community Team Volunteering Coordinator?**

There is a SSAFA presence throughout the serving community, both in the UK and overseas.

**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.

- **Partnership working**:building positive relationships and working together with national and regional employees, who are available to offer you support.
