The Blazing
Saddles is a charity cycling team from Cheshire and London, that compromises of 25 people. They are all ex sports people and a sizeable number of them are huge supporters of RAF Benevolent Fund.

The Blazing Saddles are about funding capital projects, not just raising money for general purpose funds of charities. They ride to leave legacies, for others less fortunate then themselves to benefit from.

The members have very strong ties to Anglesey and this is why they want to help the RAF Community team at RAF Valley to purchase a community engagement and welfare resource for the children and RAF veterans of Anglesey.

Aim

To have a flexible, mobile resource to be used in a wide variety of contexts and

situations promoting RAF Valley its work in the community, RAF Benevolent Fund and its welfare support to the RAF Family and the veterans in North Wales and the support received by and offered to external organisations and groups.

This will enable RAF Valley and the RAF Benevolent Fund help young children and give support to the RAF Veterans in North Wales.
