We are the Herefordshire branch of SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity.
SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity is a trusted source of support for serving personnel, veterans and their families in their time of need. Founded in 1885, we’re extremely proud of our long-standing heritage and of all the work we do with inspiring people from Herefordshire, across the UK and around the world.
Herefordshire Veterans Support Centre
The HVSC was set up to provide a one stop shop of support and a friendly listening ear for anyone in the Armed Forces community in Herefordshire that may be experiencing issues or requiring support in other areas of life or work. They work in partnership with a series of organisations, local military charities and volunteers. Find out more about the support on offer, and upcoming events, here.

Hereford Museum and Art Gallery Redevelopment Project - Co-Production Group: Veterans and Military Families
Hereford Museum and Art Gallery is undergoing an exciting transformation to create a modern, engaging, and inclusive space for showcasing Herefordshire's rich history and culture. One key focus of this project is to explore and highlight the lives and contributions of military families in Herefordshire, ensuring their stories are woven into the county’s cultural narrative. To achieve this they are creating a Coproduction Group to ensure that the stories and contributions of veterans and military families are represented in the redevelopment and feature within the final permanent displays.
They are looking for 8-12 individuals with lived experiences of military family life in Herefordshire, including:
• Veterans
• Spouses, parents, or children of military personnel
• Whether you’ve experienced life in active service, supported a loved one, or navigated the unique challenges of military family life, your perspective is valuable.
You can find out more here. If you are interested in being part of this project, please contact Lewis Monkley at lewis.monkley@herefordshire.gov.uk or 01432 383059.

We love what we do. The sense of pride you get when you know you’ve helped someone get their independence and dignity back is extraordinary. Through volunteering for SSAFA Herefordshire, you’ll have the chance to meet some truly inspiring people, with stories you’ll never forget. You’ll also gain new skills and experiences, but most importantly, you’ll make a difference in the lives of those who have dedicated their lives, often at great sacrifice, to protect and serve our country.
You can help people in need by visiting, listening and talking to them, to work out the best ways to support them.
It’s the time for giving and the time for receiving, and the time, too, to think of those who might need a bit of help. Among those giving – and thinking of others – are Barbara and David Newton, helpers at the Herefordshire branch of SSAFA.
SSAFA and US charity TAPS brought two grieving families together for an emotional weekend.
A new chapter in the SSAFA story begins with the arrival of our new Chief Executive, Air Marshall Steve Shell.
