Warrant Officer Chris Adams' 48 years of RAF Service might have drawn to an end this month, but he's still well and truly involved in RAF life.

Chris remains an Air Cadet officer, and of course he is still one of our Policy team at the RAF Families Federation; offering support and advice to personnel and their families.

We are hugely grateful for Chris's RAF service, and delighted we still benefit from his expertise as we continue to help the RAF family.

We were honoured to be invited to attend the RAF Association Conference last week.

For us, the event was a valuable opportunity to learn more about the fantastic work the RAF Association delivers in support of the RAF community, while also strengthening relationships with our friends and colleagues across the organisation.

Events like this provide a chance to better understand the challenges, opportunities and priorities facing the wider support network around Service Personnel, veterans and their families. These conversations are essential in ensuring we continue to work collaboratively for the benefit of the whole RAF community.

Check your boilers!

While the warmer weather is still with us, now is a great time to make sure your boiler is ready for when temperatures eventually start to fall.

Heating issues often only become apparent when the system is switched on after a long period of inactivity, so a quick check now could help you avoid problems later in the colder months.

Try turning your heating on and checking that your radiators warm up properly.
It is also worth looking at your boiler pressure gauge. Most systems work best with a pressure reading between 1 and 1.5 bar. If the pressure is too low, your heating may not perform as effectively when you need it.

For guidance on how to check the boiler pressure and what to do if you need to top up your boiler pressure, head over to view the step-by-step videos available on the Pinnacle Service Families website to help you through the process.
