We are the RAF's leading welfare charity providing practical, financial and - in some cases - emotional support to all members of the RAF family, from childhood through to old age. We help with issues from childcare and relationship difficulties to injury and disability, and from financial hardship and debt to illness and bereavement.
Corinne Knight - RAF widow"My fiancé, Bob, was killed when his Hercules was shot down in Iraq. I wasn't thinking about my finances - I was grieving - but the RAF Benevolent Fund took me under their wing, paid off my debts and helped me to rebuild my life."
