Forcesline

Our team is here to listen and not to judge. We can give you useful information and signpost ways to help you.

Forcesline is a free and confidential telephone helpline and email service that provides emotional support and a listening ear to those in the Armed Forces community who are feeling lonely, isolated or are struggling to cope with everyday life. We can also signpost you to other organisations who may be able to offer more practical assistance.

SSAFA is outside of the military chain of command, will listen and we will not judge. Your privacy when seeking help is fundamentally important to us.


You can now talk to our Forcesline advisors online with our live chat service. Please click on the button below to start your conversation:
