Holly joined SSAFA in 2023, after completing an HNC in Business Administration and IT. Made to feel very welcome by the team, the role has allowed Holly to develop her skills further, giving her a sense of accomplishment and rewards, to give something back and play her part in helping the Armed Forces community.
Penny served as nurse in the Army for 8 years, she is married to a RAF officer and has travelled worldwide. She has spent her time within the Service community, supporting and campaigning for Armed Forces families. She volunteered with SSAFA in 2013 as a caseworker and since has undertaken further roles to support the Branch.
