SSAFA - The Armed Forces Charity.
SSAFA Forces Help (often just called SSAFA; pronounced SA-FA) is a British based charitable organization set up to help former and serving members of the United Kingdom British Armed Forces and their families or dependents. To be eligibile for their assistance all that is required is one day's paid work for any of the United Kingdom's armed forces. The Soldiers' and Sailors' Families.
In 1985 the casework and visiting carried out by SSAFA branches and the Forces Help Society became integrated, leading to amalgamation of the two organisations in 1997 and the name SSAFA Forces Help, with SSAFA then standing for Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Families Association.
