Working together to strengthen our impact
by the Statutory Grants team!
We are here to build strong, sustainable and collaborative partnerships across the statutory sector, to expand SSAFA’s income streams and support regional service delivery. Our goal is to ensure SSAFA is recognised for the incredible work we do and to help statutory partners meet the needs of the Armed Forces community on a regional and local level.
Together we can grow our impact. Your insights, relationships and local knowledge are vital in shaping how we engage with statutory partners and unlock funding opportunities.
What we do
Networking and engagement
We focus on strengthening SSAFA’s presence within the statutory sector at regional and local levels, building on the strong foundations already established by branches and regional offices.
To do this effectively, we need to collaborate with you to:
understand your local landscape and existing connections
create new opportunities for partnership and funding.
Your community connections are key to helping us grow SSAFA’s reach.
Income generation
We work to identify and secure statutory funding that supports SSAFA's regional services.
Our approach is:
- localised > tailored to the needs and opportunities in each region
- strategic > we need to position SSAFA as a trusted partner
- sustainable > we aim to embed long-term funding solutions.
