AFFORD recently entered into an exciting 3 year partnership with HMAS Choules. The partnership means the vessel and crew will fundraise and allow us to work with them promoting the AFFORD brand and activities. Future AFFORD events are likely to include a cocktail party on board the HMAS Choules, client and family tours of the vessel and we will also have navy volunteers who will attend AFFORD events. The HMAS Choules (L100) is a Bay-class landing ship that served with the Royal Fleet Auxiliary from 2006 to 2011, before being transferred to the Royal Australian Navy. The vessel was built as RFA Largs Bay by Swan Hunter in Wallsend. Rhiannon O’ Brien and David Bell are pictured on a recent visit to the ship. AFFORD previously had a partnership with HMAS Kanimbla however the boat was decommissioned in 2012.
