Two Stalwarts of the World War II re-enactment society Jackie Dennis and Kath Hacking seen here promoting the SSAFA fund raising effort at Driffield Show Ground, May 5th 2018.
Well done girls and keep up the excellent work.

Thursday 30th November 2017 saw SSAFA East Yorkshire region holding their Annual Christmas Dinner hosted by the Officers Mess, DST Leconfield.
The day was made special by the fact that two of SSAFA East Yorkshires longest serving members have decided to retire from active involvement with the Branch.
The two Merv Rogers and Tom Langdale were awarded Honorary Life Membership of SSAFA and Long Service certificates by the wife of the DST Commandant Mrs Sally-Ann Kennedy.

Sue Ward a Caseworker with the Howden and Goole Division of SSAFA East Yorkshire held a Cake Sale on Remembrance Day in the East Riding of Yorkshire Council Offices, Goole as her personal contribution to the Big Brew push to raise funds for SSAFA locally.
Her efforts were rapidly consumed and raised a magnificent £141+ . Pride of place on the cake display was a hand made cake covered in pure white fondant icing and royally dressed with the SSAFA Logo guarded by soldiers in silhouette around the outside. MAGNIFICO.
Well done Sue

Isolation and loneliness is a growing issue across society that affects young and old alike.

A great strength of military service is the team ethos, sense of comradeship and belonging as part of a group with a common purpose and shared values.

New research commissioned by SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity, has found that almost half (41%) of working-age veterans have felt isolated and almost a quarter (27%) admitted to having suicidal thoughts after leaving the Armed Forces.

In our latest campaign we are calling on the public to join the fight against isolation in veterans by making a donation to SSAFA, so we can continue to provide personal face-to-face support through our volunteer network.

How will the campaign work?
Roadshows will run this week at shopping centres in London (Lakeside, opposite Debenhams) on Tuesday and Manchester (Trafford Centre, opposite JD Sports) on Friday. Visitors will be able to experience the ‘veteran’s reality’ that some service men and women face when leaving the Armed Forces, in our unique virtual reality film.

The campaign will also include local radio and press adverts and plenty of activity via Twitter and Facebook.

How can I get involved?
Please do make your friends and family aware of the campaign by sharing the link to our website: ssafa.org.uk/fight and encouraging people to watch the film. You can also share the posts from our social media channels - Twitter and Facebook.
