Howdy,
What kind of help do you need?

Loosely, think of a characteristic in BLE as a variable that contains byte data. The "name" of the variable is the characteristic UUID (the 128 bits of data of the form 1322b5aa-d1b3-450c-addc-c8f4c80dbb3c). The BLE server maintains that data and the BLE client can ask for the value of that variable or ask the server to save a new value for that variable.

If we think of your access point SSIDs as simply "data" then you can set the value of your characteristic to a delimited concatenation of your list of SSIDs.

This would be my high level approach.
