Sodexo’s support has enabled the rapid delivery of financial assistance, help with the purchase of vital white goods and distributing emergency food supplies.
Sir Andrew Gregory, chief executive of SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity said: “This is a situation that is not going to end or even improve soon, but with the four-square support of Sodexo for our military community – from WWII veterans to more recent conflicts, not forgetting those who served in the Falklands – SSAFA will continue to provide compassionate and real help whenever, wherever, and however needed just as it has for 137 years.”
Sodexo has given more than £400,000 to SSAFA in those 15 years, allowing the UK’s oldest tri-service charity to help serving personnel, veterans and their families with support when, where and how they need it.
Paul Anstey, Sodexo’s chief executive of Government, Sodexo UK & Ireland and Stop Hunger Trustee added: “Creating a positive impact plays a key part in our social impact pledge and in supporting SSAFA’s Homelessness Fund, we’re able to see a positive, tangible impact on the military community.
“Our longstanding partnership with SSAFA also enables our people to use their skills to help the communities in which we operate through employee fundraising, volunteering and mentoring.”
