WHAT WE DO

We provide lifelong support to serving and ex-serving RAF personnel and their families. We'll consider any request for assistance, however big or small, providing a tailor-made approach to each individual situation. From mobility aids and confidential counselling to financial grants, we offer a range of support tailored to the individual's needs.

We are honoured to maintain and preserve both the RAF Memorial and RAF Bomber Command Memorial in London on behalf of the nation.

We receive no routine government funding so rely on generous support from people like you. Discover where your money goes. By making a donation today, you could help us give members of the RAF Family the support, companionship and care they deserve.
