Naval Personal and Family Service

Naval Personal and Family Service (NPFS) supports Royal Navy, Royal Marines personnel and their families in peacetime and war by helping prevent or reduce the effects of personal difficulties, especially those which arise as a result of Service life, in order to optimise the military capability of the Serviceman or woman.
