The RAF Benevolent Fund provides financial, practical and emotional support to all members of the RAF Family. Get in touch with us today if you would like to request our help.

If you are requesting financial help for yourself, to qualify for general support you must usually have less than £12,000 in savings or in the case of care home top-up assistance you will need savings of less than £23,250 (£46,500 if capital savings in joint names).

We have a number of support services which are not means-tested including our weekly Telephone Friendship Groups and our Listening and Counselling Service for bereavement and general wellbeing.

Once you have got in touch with us, we will be able to advise you on how to proceed with an application or what options are available to you.
