Founded in 1885, we’re extremely proud of our long-standing heritage and of all the work we do with inspiring people from East Yorkshire, across the UK and around the world.
Thank you for getting in touch with SSAFA East Yorkshire. Someone should be in contact soon.

We are open 09:00 - 17:00, Monday to Thursday, and 09:00 - 16:00 on Friday.
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 East Yorkshire, 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.
