Many people will have a rough time of it over Christmas because they are too proud to ask for help, or do not know from where help may be obtained.
SSAFA-FH (Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Families Association - Forces Help) is here to help serving or ex-members of the armed forces, or members of their family, including National Servicemen, and the Reserve Forces. Help or advice can also be given to Merchant Navy personnel.
Assistance is related to need but can include the funding of such items as household necessities, debt advice, the possibility of small annuties, help with disabled aids and other matters causing distress.
Christmas is not far away.
