Lieutenant General Sir Andrew Gregory, the Controller of SSAFA, said:

“These funds will help SSAFA continue its life-changing and sometimes life-saving work, just as it has done for nearly 140 years.

“Support – including the gracious patronage of SSAFA of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for 70 years – from the Royal Family means an immense amount to me, to our volunteers, and our beneficiaries within with the Armed Forces family. In turn, it demonstrates the Royal Family’s commitment to our Armed Forces, past, present, and future.

“All at SSAFA give their heartiest congratulations to Their Majesties. Long live the King!”
