Who can get support?
We’re here for the whole RAF family; for the person behind the uniform and their loved ones. You could be a regular or a reservist. A parent or partner. Living on the base or off it. If you need support for yourself or family support, we’ll help you in any way we can, any time you need us.
Royal Naval Welfare
We provide compassionate support services to help serving personnel and their families navigate the unique challenges of naval life.
Primary Welfare for families can be provided by the support of family and friends, work colleagues or healthcare professionals. Family members can also get support from their local community chaplains, Naval Service chaplains or ‘Aggies’ – pastoral workers from the Aggie Weston’s charity, who work within many Royal Navy units and local communities.
We also maintain a network of community centres located close to Naval Service units. Community centres are a great way of getting together with like-minded people and building a support network – especially if you’re living away from extended family. The RN FPS Information Support team can provide you with impartial information on a range of support services across the UK and guide you to Secondary Welfare services where appropriate.
Secondary Welfare, carried out by professionally trained military and civilian staff who provide bespoke support at times of personal crisis can be accessed by calling the RN FPS Portal for free on 0800 145 6088
