Useful Resources

The information on this page is specifically for RAF service personnel and their families, produced by SSAFA's RAF Personal Support and Social Work Service (RAF PSSWS).

Here you will find videos, podcasts and other resources, that will be updated frequently.  These resources are designed to benefit and inform members of the RAF community, to provide useful advice, and to encourage RAF personnel and their families to get into contact with the RAF Personal Support and Social Work Service if they are facing any problems at work or at home.

Here at SSAFA we recognize that Podcasts can be a brilliant way to educate yourself, self-reflect and understand how the best person to help you is you!

We have put together a selection of podcasts that we think might help with some of the concerns and issues that you come to us with.

We hope you will find these of use and please do note that we are not in paid partnership or affiliation with any of those listed.

Every year an Impact Report is released to highlight and review the work of SSAFA's RAF Personal Support and Social Work Service.  This report looks at how the service is run, contains key statistics related to service use and user feedback, and how SSAFA ensures quality of service.  The report also includes opening and closing statements by the SSAFA Controller, and the RAF Head of People & Families Support.
