The RAF Association in collaboration with Loughborough University is delighted to have received funding from the AFCFT to deliver six more Veterans’ Resilience Programme courses in 2024/25.
What is the Veterans’ Resilience Programme?
A 2-day residential course at Loughborough University’s world class facilities.
