Although its business is (quite properly) done beyond the chain of command, I have a good understanding as to what SSAFA does on behalf of our soldiers and their families: it does us all proud! with the focus provided by Op H12, 2010 was an especially busy year and we are fortunate that considerable efforts of SSAFA's volunteers have raised significant funds the benefits of which will reach forward in years to come. But, with the normal posting cycle taking some volunteers away from Garrison, and because others who have taken an active role for several years now wanting to stand back a little, for SSAFA in Catterick to remain viable it needs new volunteers.
So this letter is simply to ask that you help SSAFA help us by engaging with your people to encourage new volunteers to come forward and offer their services. Those interested should contact either the Chair or Secretary, their contact details are given below, and note that an introductory training and general information day if planned for Tuesday 8th February 2011.
