SASR Auxiliary
Founded in 1965, the SASR Auxiliary connects and supports families of the SAS Regiment, fostering a strong community of friendship and solidarity through every challenge, and serving as a trusted first point of contact for guidance and support.
WHO WE ARE
The SASR Auxiliary is a volunteer-run, not-for-profit organisation dedicated to supporting the families of the Special Air Service Regiment.
Whether you’re a partner, spouse, serving member, or past member, our aim is to unite, empower, and advocate for SASR families through connection, understanding, and shared experience.
We provide a space for friendship, a feeling of belonging, and a supportive community that recognises the unique
demands of SASR life.
Our mission is to be a relevant and reputable voice for those who share in the service and sacrifice that comes with life alongside the Regiment.
OUR LEGACY
The Auxiliary began in 1965 when Margaret Braithwaite, wife of then-CO Lt Col G.R.S. Braithwaite, organised an informal gathering of wives whose husbands were deployed to Borneo and Brunei.
This was done at the suggestion of Peta Hunt, wife of then-Commander of Western Command, Brig George Percy Hunt CBE, who felt that a support group for wives of all ranks would be beneficial during this particularly stressful time in the newly-formed Regiment. About twenty women attended that first morning tea, and it was decided to hold a similar informal monthly meeting and information session.
Now celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2025, the Auxiliary has evolved into a fully incorporated committee-run community organisation, with a thriving and very active membership.
From Borneo to Afghanistan, and all the deployments in between, the SASR Auxiliary has always been there to support and to promote friendships amongst the Regimental family.
WAYS WE COME TOGETHER
From playgroups and wellness sessions to social catchups and seasonal events, everything we do is designed to foster connection, support, and a sense of belonging within the SASR community. These gatherings offer a chance to build friendships, take a breath, and feel understood, wherever you are at on the journey.
