Airplay RAF Brize Norton
Airplay is the RAF Benevolent Fund’s £24 million support programme for
children and young people whose parents are serving in the Royal Air Force.
Here at RAF Brize Norton the Airplay youth project run term time and holiday
provision for young people aged 8-18 living in Carterton, benefitting not just the
families of Service personnel but also the wider community.
The Airplay staff team is led by Hayley, who became Station Youth Worker in
October 2014. Airplay currently operates out of the Allandale Youth Centre in
the centre of Carterton on Monday and Wednesday evenings, and out of Flat 10,
Ely Close on a Thursday evening.
Three weekly sessions include:
Mondays
6-8pm
8-11yrs
Allandale Youth Centre
Wednesdays
6.30-8.30pm 11-13yrs
Allandale Youth Centre
Thursdays
7.30-9.30pm
14+yrs
Flat 10, Ely Close
Over the last year the number of young people attending the three sessions per
week has more than doubled. We continue to grow in number and are always
on the lookout for anybody who might be interested in volunteering to help!
We work closely with Carterton Town Council and recently received a £500
donation from the Mayor’s charities to the Airplay project.
In addition to the term time sessions that are held, Airplay run holiday provision
during the school holidays. During the summer, the Airplay team worked in
partnership with Carterton Community College to deliver ‘Get Stuck In’.
