Outside body

THE RFCA VISION

To be an enduring and essential pillar in the delivery of support for the wellbeing of the Reserves & Cadets and, through our effectiveness and our position in the regions, to be the independent body that represents their interests and promotes understanding between the Armed Forces and civil society.

RFCA CHARACTERISTICS

• We are a Central Government Body with Crown status, set up by statute.
• We are a manifestation of the volunteer ethos.
• Our voluntary membership brings with it an unparalleled breadth of expertise and experience.
• We are tri-Service.
• We are of the regions, operating throughout the United Kingdom.
• We are a not-for-profit organisation.
• We are value for money.

RFCA VALUES

• We promote the interests of the Armed Forces.
• We champion the volunteer ethos both within and outside the Services.
• We are apolitical.
• We are independent (of the MOD and the chains of command) and autonomous (of each other); but, through our collegiate behaviour, we have national responsibility, influence and recognition.
• We support the work of third sector organisations which also contribute to the well-being of Service personnel and veterans.
