RAF Coningsby Community Support

The Air Force Board has accepted that a 'Critical Connection' exists between the families of Service personnel and the operational effectiveness of the Service. The RAF must provide a necessary and robust community support structure. Therefore the imperative of developing a strong sense of community and feeling of well being amongst all service personnel, their families and the local community is the focus of the RAF Coningsby Community Support Team. The links on this page provides information and guidance regarding the Welfare & Community support provision that is available at RAF Coningsby.
