RBLI: Supporting spouses of serving armed forces personnel
We know it can be difficult to get to courses so we deliver the course remotely via MS Teams.
If you want to pop the link to the meeting on the TV and have a few people in the room then that’s fine too.
There are no forms to fill in to apply for it, just some basic details we will take on the phone or by email. We are the RBLI so will not be passing on your information or filling your inbox with junk or spam email.
