Challenges that service families face

As an RN FPS Caseworker, I see every day the challenges that Service families face, and the remarkable difference that the Trust and China Fleet Country Club bring through their support. Most recently, they enabled one of the families I support to enjoy a free respite break with breakfast included. This thoughtful gesture provided much needed relief and comfort at what had been a very difficult time.

The opportunities they provide are far more than a simple break. They give families the chance to pause, to reconnect and to regain a sense of balance that is often hard to find. The kindness and generosity shown by the Trust and CFCC reflect a genuine care for people’s wellbeing, and that has an immeasurable impact.

I am proud to work alongside such dedicated partners. Their support restores resilience, lifts morale and reminds our families that they are not alone. The difference they make is lasting and deeply valued, and I cannot thank them enough for the compassion they continue to show to those who serve and to the loved ones who stand beside them.
