RAF Wittering Airplay Wittering achieved a remarkable milestone this year, earning not one but two prestigious awards at the Airplay Young People’s Awards. Gabriella McAulay was honoured as the ‘Role Model of the Year’, a testament to her leadership and inspiration. Meanwhile, the Project Tuesday Youth Committee—comprised of Chloe Thompson, Joe Purnell, and Rory Wilson- Jones—claimed the title of ‘Social Activists of the Year’ for their impactful work. These accolades echo the passion, dedication, and creativity of our young leaders. In addition, Airplay Wittering proudly won the RAFBF Airplay Project of the Year, with staff attending the awards ceremony in London to celebrate this incredible achievement. A Colourful Fundraising Triumph In May, we held a vibrant Colour Run at RAF Wittering as part of the Airplay Relay to raise funds for the Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund. Around 50 participants ran, skipped, and laughed their way through an incredible 1,383 laps—covering over 276 miles combined! It was a joyful event that brought our community together for a great cause. Representing Our Community Three members of Project Tuesday embarked on a journey to London to attend the Annual Airplay Youth Forum. Over several days, they engaged in workshops, honed budgeting and catering skills, explored the city, and capped off the experience with a presentation to the Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund. These young representatives showcased the very best of our youth community, ensuring their voices are heard.
We are immensely proud of the resilience,
innovation, and determination of everyone involved. This year has been a true celebration of the spirit and achievements of our Airplay programme.
