Armed Forces Christian Union (AFCU)

Serving in our Armed Forces community can be both incredibly rewarding and, let’s be honest, uniquely challenging. Amidst the demanding shifts and deployments, it’s vital to find a place where you feel truly seen, properly supported, and completely understood as a Christian. Well, that’s precisely what the AFCU is all about.

We’re a vibrant and growing community of Christians serving across the Royal Navy, Army, Royal Air Forces and MOD. Here you’ll discover more than just shared faith; you’ll unearth a family. A community where you can connect with fellow service personnel who share your values, understand your experiences, and will happily walk alongside you on your spiritual journey. Whether you’re after some great fellowship, prayer support, a bit of encouragement, or simply a safe space to just be, the AFCU offers a genuinely welcoming embrace. We believe in building robust relationships, fostering deep connections, and supporting each other through every hurdle and every triumph.

Armed Forces Education Trust

The Armed Forces Education Trust is a charity working for children and young adults whose education has been compromised or put at risk as a result of parents’ past or current service in the UK Armed Forces. The educational grants we give make a difference to young lives, and focus on:

  • Reducing the negative impact of mobility and deployment on learning
  • Supporting children with additional educational needs
  • Enabling smooth transitions between schools and education systems
  • Working with schools and communities to support Service children in improving their educational outcomes.

The Trust’s vision is a future where every child from an Armed Forces family achieves their full educational potential, regardless of mobility or circumstance. We believe that by supporting Service children at key transition points, addressing barriers to learning, and empowering families and schools, we can help to reduce educational disadvantage and promote resilience, achievement, and wellbeing.
