Family and Relationships
We provide various emotional and practical support for RAF families and couples. We also provide support for children and young people growing up in the RAF Family.
Children and young people
Our flagship youth support programme Airplay, offers activities for youngsters aged five to 18 run by trained youth workers.
Workshops for partners of RAF personnel
Access to free online workshops for partners of those serving in the RAF to help them overcome employment challenges and improve their overall wellbeing.
Online support for families
Our free online platform, Building Stronger Families, provides information, guidance and tools for dealing with a range of family and relationship matters.
Breaks for serving families
Subsidised holiday breaks in popular locations across the UK for serving RAF.
Relationship counselling
We offer free and confidential relationship counselling and mediation through Relate.
How we helped Sam and Caroline
Sam and his long-term partner, Caroline, who – like many couples in today's age – had children to consider from previous relationships, reached out to Relate for some counselling sessions when they felt new pressures arise from moving in together, closer to Sam's station.
