What’s it for?

The Army Families Federation (AFF) is an independent charity who works to improve the quality of life of Army families around the world.

Their role is to provide guidance and support to Army families on the unique aspects of being part of the Army that affect family life. This includes guidance and support in navigating Defence and Army policies, and signposting to sources of information.

They use the evidence from enquiries and from surveys to highlight the problems that Army families face and bring them to the attention of chain of command, policy makers and service providers, working alongside them to improve the support available to soldiers and their families.

AFF has a team of Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC) qualified immigration advisors who can provide accredited advice on immigration issues to service and veteran non-UK families.
