Being in Touch

Staying in touch can with what is happening RAF-wise can sometimes be difficult. To help make things a little easier, hopefully, we have in this section put together a list of links to those organisations you might find of use.

Our Website

Keep an eye on the RAF Families Federation website homepage and news listing for up-to-date news and developments, (the website is updated daily) The site carries stories of interest to anyone in the RAF family or associated with it.

RAFCOM

It would be remiss of us if we did not draw your attention to RAFCOM, the RAF Community Support website which is available to all via the Internet and/or Intranet. RAFCOM has over 1,000 pages of useful information and links that cover a vast range of family-related issues. Where possible, we have linked our site to the relevant RAFCOM pages but, if you can’t find what you are looking for here, RAFCOM may well have the answer.

BFBS (British Forces Broadcasting Service)

BFBS has always had the intention of informing and entertaining military personnel, whereever they may be in the world.  Now on DAB radio and with more TV channels they increasing their reach.  BFBS as well as being good entertainment and will carry items of new and interest and have a relevance for  the whole Service Community.
