Welfare and Support

Help and support from people who care

Coronavirus
This is a particularly stressful time for everyone. In addition to the advice being given on national media you can of course still contact SSAFA’s Forcesline helpline either by phone (0800 731 4880) or live chat during office hours. If it is outside of office hours and you need to talk to someone contact the Samaritans on 116 123. They listen and won't judge or tell you what to do.
