COVID-19 Updates
We understand there are uncertainties and concerns during this difficult time. The NFF are in the corner of serving Royal Navy and Royal Marines personnel and their loved ones.
Driving Change
We value you, your contribution and your opinions.
We take your feedback to those in positions of power — the Chain of Command, Government Ministers, other Government departments, local authorities and civilian service providers and it informs policy and decision making.
NFF & Headspace
Introducing Headspace – a new service for the families of serving Royal Navy and Royal Marines personnel.
Covid-19 has brought many additional new challenges, such as home-schooling, working from home and being apart from our usual network of family and friends. We believe that the Headspace App can help, by giving you the skills you need to be able to focus on your own health and wellbeing. We are delighted to launch our new Headspace project for you.

Time, On My Watch
We are launching an exciting project on 1st October, 2020. This project, funded by the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust, is focused on the concept of time as we think it has different meanings for each of you.
It’s an opportunity for you to show that your time is valuable and that you matter too. You can say what you like, in whatever medium you like. Send a photograph of the completed piece to us and artist Tim Mann will use your images to create a final piece of artwork, which will be anonymous.

Make your winter glow
Winter Glow is essentially Brighten Your Day in a scarf and gloves.
The Annington Trust has generously agreed, once again, to support Royal Navy and Royal Marines families (Regular and Reserves) with resources to support resilience, enhance coping strategies and bring a bit of cheer in difficult times, this time tailored to colder weather and longer nights.
It is designed to support those families impacted by covid-19, and particularly those experiencing separation.
