Verification & Official Communications
AFF Missions SCIO is committed to transparency, public trust, and responsible communication.
This page helps members of the public, partners, donors, contributors, and collaborators confirm whether a communication, campaign, event, document, QR code, media link, invitation, or request is genuinely connected to AFF Missions SCIO.
AFF Missions SCIO is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation working through upstream and midstream prevention. We do not provide emergency support, clinical services, crisis response, safeguarding investigations, legal advice, benefits advice, or individual casework.
Official Website & Email Domains
We currently have two official domains:
Our official website is: www.affmissions.co.uk
Any official AFF Missions SCIO webpage, public resource, campaign page, event page, media link, or verification information should be linked from this website or clearly connected to it.
If you are unsure whether a page, link, QR code, campaign, or communication is genuine, please contact us before donating, sharing information, attending an event, scanning a code, or responding to a request.
Official AFF Missions SCIO communications may come from email addresses ending in:
@affmissions.co.uk
@affmission.com
For example:
name@affmissions.co.uk
name@affmission.com
Both domains especially affmission.com are used for legitimate AFF Missions SCIO communications, including public enquiries, partnership communication, campaign updates, event invitations, podcast correspondence, contributor communication, and other official external contact.
If you receive an email claiming to be from AFF Missions SCIO, please check the email address carefully. Be cautious of lookalike domains, misspellings, extra words, unusual endings, or email addresses that do not match either of our official domains.
If you are unsure whether an email is genuine, please contact us through our official website or verification contact before responding, clicking links, scanning QR codes, sharing information, or making a donation.
