The annual donation supports the charity’s Homelessness Fund enabling SSAFA to continue its ‘life-changing’ work for a further 12 months.
Sodexo is also committed to the continual support in the employment of ex-armed forces personnel and their families as well as those employees who are members of the reserves.
Paul Anstey, chief executive of Sodexo Government UK&I, said: “World Homeless Day (10th October) is an international day to raise awareness of the needs of people who experience homelessness and provide opportunities for the community to get involved in responding to homelessness.
“We are proud that our annual grant enables SSAFA to continue to support veterans experiencing homelessness and those in most need within the Armed Forces community. Our support goes beyond financial donations, our colleagues regularly volunteer to support SSAFA’s projects such as its mentor scheme and many fundraising activities allowing Sodexo and our people to make difference to the Armed Forces Community.”
