Northants volunteer’s ‘dedication and commitment’ to SSAFA recognised

20 March 2024

Sue Walters has supported the Northamptonshire branch of SSAFA for five years and was recently awarded the five-year Long Service Commendation.

Sue was presented with her award by SSAFA’s Northamptonshire President, HM Lord Lieutenant James Saunders-Watson at the SSAFA offices in Northampton.

Gareth Bull, SSAFA Northamptonshire Chair, said: “Then Northamptonshire branch of SSAFA proudly recognise Sue Walters for her unwavering dedication and outstanding commitment to serving our local veterans. Her five years of selfless service embodies the true spirit of the SSAFA mission statement with her tireless efforts changing many lives by offering support and hope to those in need. We are deeply grateful for her invaluable contribution and congratulate her on this well-deserved milestone. Here's to many more years of making a difference to our veteran community."

Sue volunteers as a caseworker for SSAFA, helping veterans and their families in their times of need. The region is actively seeking caseworkers, who do not need to have a military background to volunteer and who receive full training and local support.
