Do you need our support?
We are the Borders branch of SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity.
We provide lifelong support to those who are serving or have served in the British Army, Royal Navy, Royal Marines or the Royal Air Force, and to their families. Founded in 1885, we’re extremely proud of our long-standing heritage and of all the work we do with inspiring people from Borders, across the UK and around the world.
If you have any mail for any of our branches in Scotland, please send to;

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 Borders, 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.

Support for the Armed Forces family will be “top dog” when SSAFA takes part in a major new public art event in summer 2026. SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity is the latest sponsor to come on board for Scotties in the City – a largescale art trail coming to Glasgow for eight weeks this summer.
