SSAFA The Armed Forces Charity
Our support covers both regulars and reserves in the Royal Navy, the Royal Marines, the British Army and the Royal Air Force and their families, including anyone who has completed National Service. We know and understand the unique demands of service life, whether in the UK or overseas, and in times of need, we help to enable the Forces family to thrive.
From the day you join the Royal Marines, you become a member of our family for life. That means we’re here to support you, no matter what. Being a Royal Marine is a way of life and whilst that comes with a sense of pride and honour, we know that it sometimes comes with challenges too. Our mission is to provide support, advice and lifelong camaraderie for serving and retired Marines and their families.
Adjusting to civilian life can provide challenges. If you are unsure what to do next or want a safe and confidential place to talk, don't hesitate to contact us. We will do our best to help or point you in the direction of people who can.
