FAMILY
“Felicity enjoyed it so much. The activities were amazing and she especially enjoyed the abseiling. She was very scared but with some encouragement, she did it. Her short break has given her lots of confidence, independence and aseries of stories she loves to tell about her adventures. The
volunteers were absolutely amazing and really supported her.
“Whilst she was away we were able to have quality one-to-one time with Harvey, but it also gave everybody along overdue break from the difficulties that we face with bringing up aspecial needs child.”

Afriend in need……
We’ve all had times when we could do with afriend –itmay be to have achat over acup of tea, to give us alift to the supermarket, to go to an evening class with, to help our children do their homework or just to show us local cycling routes as we’re new to the area.
Making new friends is not always easy – it’s even more difficult if you’re alittle shy,newly widowed, new to an area or suddenly find you are asingle parent because your other half is working away.
It is an increasingly common concern that as people live longer and social media continues to grow in popularity, people of all ages are becoming more isolated. This is where the RAF Association wants to help with its new ‘befriender’scheme.

The Association is looking for RAF personnel who are caring, good listeners and have an ability to put people at ease to volunteer to help people in their local community.If you’d like to take someone under your wing, you can find out more at
