The RAF Benevolent Fund wants to get thousands of RAF veterans and their families back on the radar. We estimate that as many as 100,000 are in urgent need of what could be life-changing support.
We all have a last chance to do our duty, just as they did theirs, by giving them and their families the support they deserve.
Please get in touch with us today if you know someone who is in need of help or to request help for yourself. Alternatively, you can call our helpline number on 0300 102 1919.
Our new TV advert, voiced by Sir David Jason, brings home our vital campaign message, urging everyone to help us find RAF veterans and their families who have fallen off the radar. Their needs could be urgent, so there's no time to lose.
They did their duty. We want to repay the debt owed to the men and women of the Royal Air Force and give them what is their right to have – help and support when they need it, through whatever battles they face. By donating today, your generosity will make a real difference to someone within our RAF Family going through a difficult time. Whether that's easing financial distress, ensuring that someone has a safe and comfortable home that meets their needs, or looking after their emotional well-being to overcome loneliness and bereavement.
The RAF Benevolent Fund has a proud tradition of looking after the RAF Family. We are there for all serving and former members of the RAF as well as their partners and dependent children. Please get in touch if you or someone you know who has a connection to the RAF may require our help.
Former RAF MT driver Ron Finch was conscripted into the RAF at 18 years of age and went on to serve in India and Sri Lanka. The RAF Benevolent Fund's support has meant that Ron can continue living at home with his wife Pauline and keep in touch with other veterans.
Our campaign was launched on 24 June 2019 at RAF Odiham and involved more than a thousand RAF veterans, serving personnel, cadets and supporters of the Fund coming together to create a spectacular 'human radar' light show. Read more about the launch.
