CESSAC is a tri-Service charity (226684) that provides homely, welcoming places for serving armed forces personnel (and/or their families), currently in 8 locations across UK, Cyprus and the Falklands. CESSA Housing Association provides sheltered housing for elderly ex-Service personnel and/or their families, in and around the Portsmouth area. Through CESSAC, there is also an agreement with Greenwich Hospital that the same staff manage 3 further schemes for former sailors and their partners in Greenwich, Portsmouth & Saltash. CESSA is an abbreviation for CofE Soldiers', Sailors' & Airmen's - the CofE element simply recognises the origins and ethos of the organisation, which has never been religious in operation, welcoming those of all faiths and none for over 125 years.
