I am taking on the Petra Trek in aid of SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity. SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity is a trusted source of practical, emotional, and financial support for serving personnel, veterans and their families in their time of need. In 2021 our trained teams of volunteers and employees helped more than 66,000 people, from Second World War veterans to those who have served in more recent conflicts, or currently serving (both regulars and reserves), and their families. SSAFA understands that behind every uniform is a person. And we are here for that person and their family, any time they need us and in any way they need us.
