SSAFA Somerset branch is here to provide lifelong support to those who are serving or have served, and to their families. This branch is supported in fundraising by the Friends of SSAFA Somerset.
The Friends of SSAFA Somerset exist to support the work of the SSAFA Somerset Branch with fundraising events held across the county, from county fairs, local talks, challenge events, and afternoon teas.
Please check out the Friends of SSAFA Somerset webpages where you can find details of upcoming events, galleries from past events, our history, and how you can support us.
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 Somerset, across the UK and around the world.

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 Somerset, 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.
Help us raise vital funds by representing SSAFA at local fundraising events, providing a friendly and approachable service to potential donors.
Oversee all aspects of the branch, ensure the branch is running inline with SSAFA’s policies and regulations to ensure that clients and volunteers are safe, all services provided are appropriate and effective and that the branch is financially sound.
As the first point of contact for SSAFA in the area, you will play a crucial part in promoting SSAFA locally, organising events and ensuring the smooth running of SSAFA across the divisions in your branch.
