We have conducted the first in-depth research of the wellbeing of children and young people who have one or both parents serving in the RAF.
We would like to invite you to a presentation and panel discussion about the research and its findings where there will be an opportunity to hear first-hand what it is like growing up as part of the RAF Family.
As the RAF's leading welfare charity, the Fund undertakes research projects such as these to inform our welfare provision for all generations of the RAF Family as well as ensuring its efficacy.
It is our intention that the Growing up in the RAF report in particular, will help parents, teachers and other professionals better understand the children and young people they are supporting and help policymakers and service providers to develop policies and services, to support their wellbeing.
The presentation and panel discussion will include Dr Hannah Brooking, Lead Researcher at the RAF Benevolent Fund, Louise Briggs from the RAF Families Federation, Jenny Withers, Chief Community Development Advisor for the RAF as well as a young person who has a serving parent.
