We had a fantastic breakfast event last month at RAF Marham in Norfolk, bringing together local employers, RAF colleagues and our employer engagement team. With insightful guest speakers, we explored the benefits that reservists can bring to the workplace: earfca.org.uk/employer-engag…

Being a cadet doesn't just build character, it transforms futures.
It's why we are increasing numbers by 30% by 2030 with a new investment of £70m.
@AlistairCarns hears why that will make a difference at the National Air & Space Camp

Great day out with the RAF Cadets today!
I was so impressed to see how confident, articulate and thoughtful these young people are. Thanks to the RAF and all the adult volunteers for making this happen. This is opportunity and social mobility in action! Really proud to announce a 30% increase in Cadets by 2030 as an investment in our young people and in the nation as a whole. Keep smashing it!!
