Organisation Information

We’re here to give friendship, help and support.

Welfare is at the absolute heart of the Royal Air Forces Association. Whether you need someone to talk to, help finding financial support, some time away to rest or something else entirely, we can help you find a solution.

It doesn’t matter whether you’re currently serving, or you’re a veteran or a family member, we’re here to help so don’t be afraid to ask. We carefully and sensitively deliver support to members of the RAF community to suit the needs of each person. We also work in partnership with other organisations to ensure we provide the correct support for you.

Our work makes a real different to the lives of those in the RAF community who find themselves in times of needs.

We support anyone who has had one day’s pay and one day’s service in the RAF, as well as their spouses, widows and dependants. Use the drop down list below to find out how we can help you in more detail.
