SSAFA is proud to announce a new partnership with Pall-Ex Group as the company continues to build on the support it offers to the military community.

Pall-Ex Group, a long-serving supporter of veterans, has the goal of being the employer of choice for those leaving the military. Alongside providing support to military personnel who are looking for work after leaving the forces, its pledges include enhanced leave for Reservists and Cadets within the business and ongoing fundraising for veterans’ mental health charities.

The partnership between Pall-Ex Group and SSAFA was launched at the Pall-Ex Group Annual Awards evening last month. Through the Pall-Ex Group Charitable Foundation and fundraising on the night – with a silent auction and charity casino – SSAFA received a £10,000 cheque to launch the relationship.

Jenny King, Corporate Development Manager SSAFA, collected the cheque at the Pall-Ex Group Annual Awards evening on behalf of the charity.

Commenting on the partnership, Jenny noted: “The support from Pall-Ex Group is greatly appreciated as we work to improve the well-being – both emotionally and physically – of veterans, serving personnel and their families around the country.

“Corporate partnerships are immensely valuable to SSAFA, as they help us to provide life-changing support to the Armed Forces community. We’re incredibly proud of the work we do and none of it would be possible without the commitment from companies such as Pall-Ex.”

Kevin Buchanan, CEO of Pall-Ex Group, commented: “As the oldest Armed Forces charity in the UK, SSAFA provides vital support to veterans and their families, a cause which we have championed closely at Pall-Ex Group for several years.

“Our partnership with SSAFA cements our commitment to the Armed Forces community even further and I speak on behalf of everyone at Pall-Ex Group when I say we are proud to be supporting their invaluable work over the coming year."
