Strengthening Families – By Your Side
Every family needs some extra help from time to time. From discounted activity camps to specialist practical assistance, 'Strengthening Families – By Your Side' offers Royal Navy and Royal Marines families the right support at the right time. This programme has been developed by the RNRMC and Naval Families Federation, with additional funding support from the Armed Forces Covenant.
Deployment Support
Deployment is when a service person is serving away from home for a period of time. This could be on an operational tour of duty for 6 months or more, a training course or an exercise which could last for a few weeks. The Families Federations have collaborated with the Service Children In State Schools National Executive Advisory Committee to create this resource with useful links and signposting to raise awareness of the resources and organisations offering support to help children from an Armed Forces background during times of deployment.

To address the challenges faced by Naval families and the pressure Service Life can have there is a wide range of family friendly policies, guidance, and organisations that provide support.
