SBL has committed to a fundraising programme for the SSAFA - Forces Help charity over the course of the next year, supporting Britain's Armed Forces and their families.

SBL has raised over £450 in the first month of this initiative through dress-down days and the sale of second hand laptops which were no longer fit for purpose at work but staff could use at home. Thanks to all the staff at SBL who have taken part.

To make a donation to the SSAFA Forces Help visit our fundraising page - www.justgiving.com/SBL. Justgiving sends your donation straight to SSAFA Forces Help and automatically reclaims Gift Aid if you're a UK taxpayer, so your donation is worth even more!

The Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Families Association (SSAFA) provides support for the serving men and women in today’s Armed Forces and for those who have served - even if it was only for a single day. The charity also cares for the needs of their families and dependants.

Last year alone, SSAFA's professional staff and trained volunteers gave assistance to more than 50,000 people, helping to make a real difference to many lives.
