Story

When one of the RAF family needs a friend, they turn to us. That’s because we can be there on the doorstep, in person, to help sort out the problem and share the load. When times are tough, nothing beats friendly, face-to-face support from someone who really cares (and we make a good cup of tea too).   

A life of service in the RAF can include experiencing some distressing situations and moving around a lot. So, many of our veterans and serving personnel don’t have a close network of friends and family around them to help them through difficult times. Active service can lead not only to physical injury, but also to ongoing mental health issues. It’s our job to make sure nobody who has served in the RAF – or their immediate families – feels abandoned when they’re most in need.  

Injury, bereavement, illness, loneliness, financial difficulties – if things go wrong, our network of warm-hearted, practical and highly trained people flies into action. Our members, volunteers and employees work together to make sure everyone who needs us gets the one-to-one support they deserve.  

Please donate today and help us to continue the work we do.

Thank you.
