rafa YOUTH makes a flying start!

The Royal Air Forces Association (RAFA), one of the leading Royal Air Force welfare charities, has launched its new Youth Membership scheme, rafa YOUTH, Welcome to rafa YOUTH

rafa YOUTH is open to all young people aged 13-17 years old who are currently members of a recognised air-related uniformed youth organisation such as the Air Cadet Organisation, Girls Venture Corps Air Cadets or Air Scout/Air Explorer Scouts and who love flying, gliding, aviation, the Royal Air Force or who just want to be part of something special.

rafa YOUTH aims to: encourage volunteering/support; promote youth development through an air-related environment; increase awareness of RAFA and its role/purpose; and perhaps most importantly, do something that is fun and enjoyable for young people.

For an annual subscription of £10, rafa YOUTH members will receive an online membership card, exclusive high street discounts and offers, opportunities to volunteer and support the Charity and the first 1500 members will receive a free new design rafa YOUTH wristband. But it gets EVEN better – all rafa YOUTH members will be able to enter monthly free prize draws to win amazing prizes which include civilian flying lessons, one-day mini gliding courses, microlight flying, VIP days with the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team (Red Arrows) and the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, Experience days with the Royal Air Force and BAE Systems, tandem sky-diving experiences or tickets for up to 10 people to spend a whole day paintballing at a local Delta Force Entertainment Centre…

It is also possible to give a gift of 12 months rafa YOUTH membership to an individual or to many individuals or even a whole Squadron, Troop or Section. The young people who are lucky enough to receive a gift membership voucher just sign up at Welcome to rafa YOUTH ensuring that all the parental consent and data protection issues are dealt with directly by the Charity. If you would like to buy a gift membership to rafa YOUTH, please call the Association on 0116 266 5224 and ask for Rishi in the Finance Team.

Cool Thanks RAF Brize Norton!

The youngest ever members of the RAF Association, rafa YOUTH, had a VIP experience on 2nd August at RAF Brize Norton with opportunities to fly the VC10 Simulator, tour around and then have lunch on the C17, view the Voyager and have an all-round amazing day.

Here’s what they thought about their experience........ rafa YOUTH Prizewinners RAF Brize Norton 2nd August 2013 - YouTube

and it clearly doesn't get much better than that - huge thanks to all at RAF Brize Norton for such amazing support!!

Thumbs up BZ!!

Fantastic - I hope she's entered both prize draws for August as there are 3 packages of flying lessons and 10 places on a VIP trip of Warton on offer....and as we've only just launched rafa YOUTH the odds of winning are still very high....
