RSA Social Services
Local RSA’s provide support services that are designed to assist ex-servicemen and women in need, whether or not they are members of an RSA.
Each RSA appoints a Support Officer to co-ordinate these services and to give advice on the various community services available to ex-service personnel and their families.
How We help
RSA assistance ranges from monetary grants for those in financial difficulty, to help with practical tasks, visiting the sick, and offering friendship and support in times of need.
Who We help
Help is available to all ex-servicemen and women, their spouses/partner, widows/widowers and dependants, whether or not they are members of an RSA.
Overseas Veterans
