On National Engineering Day, The Royal Air Force Charitable Trust has announced it is set to reach more children after signing new partnerships with EngineeringUK and EDT.

The charity, which is powered by the proceeds of the Royal International Air Tattoo, aims to inspire young people to consider careers in Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).

The new agreement with EngineeringUK will see RAFCT become headline partner of their Big Bang at School Blueprint initiative, where young people from across the country participate in an inspiring STEM day in their schools, filled with amazing hands-on science and engineering activities and opportunities to learn more about STEM careers.

Meanwhile, the agreement with EDT will impact over 50,000 students from across the country as headline partner of both the Industrial Cadets initiative alongside Experience Days Developed by EDT and inspired by its Patron, His Majesty King Charles III, Industrial Cadets is a widely recognised, accredited awards scheme helping young people access STEM learning, experiences and the world of work through collaboration with industry.

In addition to National Engineering Day, this week marks Tomorrow’s Engineers Week, a celebration of engineering and technology designed to inspire young people, which makes it a timely announcement from the Gloucestershire-based charity.

Director at Royal Air Force Charitable Trust, Justine Morton, said: “We are incredibly excited to be announcing these partnerships and demonstrates our commitment to inspiring young people.
“RAFCT is a signatory of the Tomorrow’s Engineers Code which asks members to inspire connection, drive inclusion, showcase engineering and technology and improve impact.
“These are principles we fundamentally believe in and we are looking forward to working with EngineeringUK and EDT to reach more young people from all backgrounds and inspire them about STEM.”

Since 2005, RAFCT has been on a mission to work with young people with these partnerships the latest initiatives the organisation supports. The new partnerships join existing programmes such as the Road to RIAT primary school competition which will reach over 500 schools.

This year the Royal International Air Tattoo welcomed a record crowd of 168,000 people to RAF Fairford, with tickets already on sale for next summer’s show which is taking place from July 18-20th.

Justine added: “The Royal International Air Tattoo is a huge event that naturally demands a lot of attention.

“I’d like to thank every single one of the visitors who joined us at RAF Fairford this year, as by attending our event, they may have changed the lives of children across the country.”

Take your enclosure experience to new heights with our Altitude enclosure – new for 2025!

Altitude is located at the heart of the showground (replacing Wingtip Garden), adjacent to the static aircraft line and with great views of all the action in the air.

It’s a great base to explore the whole RIAT experience from and return to throughout the day where you can enjoy the unique ambience.

With a markedly different feel to any other enclosure, it has upper deck viewing spaces and a cool, contemporary vibe. Complete with an all-inclusive cocktail bar with selected wine, prosecco, beer, cider, spirits, cocktails and soft drinks, complimentary food and a DJ, Altitude is an upgrade experience like no other at RIAT.

The Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) is set to highlight specialised aircraft used for intelligence, surveillance, maritime patrol, search and rescue, surveying and reconnaissance at next year’s show with a theme of ‘Eyes in the Skies’ being announced.

Despite there still being over 250 days until next summer’s event, more than 20,000 tickets have been sold as people secure their spot at RAF Fairford ahead of any participating aircraft being revealed with organisers also stating aircraft announcements are set to begin early next year.

By welcoming 248 aircraft from almost 30 different countries, a sell-out crowd of 168,000 visitors and making a record donation of £2.6m to the event’s parent charity, the Royal Air Force Charitable Trust, this year’s instalment was the most successful in the show’s history.

Chief Executive Officer at Royal Air Force Charitable Trust Enterprises, Paul Atherton said: “This year’s show was a huge success and we are thrilled to see people are already booking tickets for next year.
“Planning is well underway and announcing our theme marks the start of the event cycle for RIAT25.

“Our event provides a special opportunity for people to see and interact with aircraft of all shapes and sizes.

“Next year’s theme means visitors should be able to get up close and personal with specialist aircraft that usually operate out of sight given the nature of their missions.

“We look forward to sharing our plans with you in the coming months.”

RIAT25 is set to take place from Friday 18th to Sunday 20th July with 2025 also marking 40 years since the world-renowned show made its way to RAF Fairford after being established at North Weald and then taking place at Greenham Common.

In recognition of this, the event also plans to celebrate its history with a presence on the showground looking back at four decades in Gloucestershire.

“RAF Fairford has been our home for the past four decades and in that time, we have seen some incredible aircraft at RIAT,” added Atherton.

“Therefore, it is only right we celebrate it with local people and visitors who have made the event what it is today.”
