Live ChatExpedia Group is pleased to announce a new partnership with the UK’s oldest tri-service military charity, SSAFA, as it continues to support its offering to the wider military community.
Expedia Group has launched the partnership with a donation of $20,000, kickstarting what will be a valuable partnership for 2024 and beyond.
Jenny King, Corporate Development Manager of SSAFA, collected the donation from the Expedia Group office in London. Commenting on the partnership Jenny says “Corporate Partnerships are extremely valuable to SSAFA, as they help us provide life changing support to the entire Armed Forces Community. None of the work we do would be possible without the support and commitment from companies such as Expedia Group.”
Joanna Patterson, who leads Expedia Group’s veteran and military-focused Inclusion Business Group comments, “We are delighted to partner with SSAFA and support the Armed Forces tri-services. At EG, the mission of our VETS IBG is to engender community, mentorship, and career growth for veterans while partnering with the diverse community of families, friends, and first responders to build and better Expedia Group overall.
"We know that those who currently serve, as well as veterans of all ages, spouses/partners and families are challenged in unique and complex ways, many of which are unknown or misunderstood. We were impressed by all the initiatives, case work support and mentoring SSAFA provides to those in need and hope that the kick starter is just the tip of the iceberg.”
