RAFA: Royal Air Forces Association
When someone in the RAF family needs help, the charity they turn to is the Royal Air Forces Association. Whatever their need, they can rely on us every step of the way to give practical assistance, expert advice and emotional support. Throughout life’s challenges, we are there for them, in person and on the phone, like a good friend should be.
See some examples of the type of support we provide, here.
How we help the RAF Family
With thousands of members and volunteers across the UK and further afield, we have the network needed for a personal, one-to-one approach. We’re there whenever an injured airman is fighting to get back on their feet or the widow of a WWII veteran needs a shoulder to lean on. We’re there when a family needs support to stay strong and connected despite the separation that comes with RAF service. We’re trusted to work tirelessly to make sure no member of our family ever feels alone or unsupported.
Who do we help?
Today, there are over 1.5 million people in the RAF family who are either serving or who have served in the RAF (whether as a regular or reservist) and their spouses, partners or dependent children. We know family doesn’t stop there, so for some of our work we also count parents and close relatives, air-minded youth organisations, contractors and civil servants supporting the RAF as part of the family. You do not need to be a member to receive our help.
