Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant
The Royal Air Force Museum is thrilled to have been granted the Gold Award in recognition to the Armed Forces and extended community in 2025. The award is a testament to our commitment of support as a national museum to the Armed Forces – including Reserves, Service Leavers, cadets, and military spouses and families.
We offer additional paid annual leave to Reserves, and are currently looking at ways to support other voluntary commitments.
The Museum currently employs spouses, partners and family members of those that are serving – and understands the impact as a result of the commitment to service life. Our Midlands site is situated next door to RAF Cosford and offers great opportunities for Forces families.
About us
The Royal Air Force Museum is a National Museum, a Government non-departmental public body (NDPB) and a registered charity. Our collection is central to everything we are and do and comprises around 1.3m objects which we hold in trust for the people of the UK. Our RAF Centenary transformation in 2018 enabled the Museum to bring an additional 500 objects from our stores to share with our visitors – most of which had never been displayed before.
We are committed to using our collections to share the story of the Royal Air Force and its people. We are an educational charity and whether visitors are engaging with our displays, taking part in discussion and debate, studying our archive, holding a corporate event in our spaces, having fun at events and in our playground, or enjoying a rest in our café, there are opportunities for learning and inspiration in every pore of our Museum.
We have two public museum sites - one in London and one in the Midlands. We also have a storage facility site located in Stafford.
