We are a supportive network with collective experiences as widows and widowers and will signpost to relevant agencies and organisations for advice when needed.


National events

We hold at least one weekend a year where members gather for a couple of days to socialise, meet old friends and make new ones.

Regional events

The Association is divided into regions which are overseen by a Point of Contact. This person organises social events locally as required by the members. We currently have almost 300 members who are spread across the country, including some who live overseas, and are mainly to be found clustered around large RAF stations.

We are also in touch with other organisations that arrange forces children’s events including theatre trips and holidays.

Keeping in touch

Two or three times a year we send out a magazine called ‘Contact’ to all our members. This keeps you in touch with other members, and upcoming events, as well as offering relevant articles and information, support and advice.

Become a member

We are happy for you to have as much or as little involvement with us as suits you. There is no need to be a member in order to feel you may contact us for support or advice.
