Our Connections for Life service entails friendship telephone calls from volunteers to beneficiaries within the RAF community who maybe experiencing loneliness, adapting to life after service or just looking for a general chat.
We will provide you with all the necessary training so you can rest assured that you will have all the skills you need. As a Connections Volunteer, you will have the support of a dedicated coordinator as your point of contact.
A RAF or forces background is not essential, and we welcome applications from all areas of the community.

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.
