Event Volunteering

The London Marathon is always a big day for SSAFA - we love to go out in strength, supporting our runners and representing the charity to the packed streets.

We would love to hear from anyone who would be able to spend a few hours helping us out on the day. Maybe you have signed up to take part in the marathon and have a relative or friend who’d like to come along. Or perhaps you or someone you know just loves the friendly atmosphere on Marathon day and wants to come and support SSAFA's work!

If this sounds like you or someone you know, you can find out more here.
