Headquartered in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, MBDA UK recently hosted its annual dinner for good causes including SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity. 

The dinner raised a remarkable £297,500 for military and local charities, of which SSAFA received a portion. These funds are testament to the commitment that MBDA has made in giving back to their community and to the Armed Forces family. 

Jenny King, Head of Corporate Engagement at SSAFA: “On behalf of SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity, I would like to extend our deepest gratitude to everyone at MBDA for their outstanding support of our work. We truly appreciate MBDA's continued partnership with SSAFA. 

“Your unwavering support enables us to provide vital assistance to the Armed Forces community, whether regular or reserve, serving or veteran, and their families, and your dedication to our cause makes a meaningful difference in the lives of those who have served and continue to serve.”

Chris Allam, Managing Director UK at MBDA: “As a major employer in the UK in the defence industry, we believe in the importance of supporting our local and military communities. It is why we are proud to support the armed forces charities and charities local to our four main sites chosen by our people.” 

These funds will help SSAFA continue to support the whole military family when they confront some of life’s darkest challenges with SSAFA by their side because no-one should battle alone.
