Royal Air Forces Association

Our dedicated welfare team is here to help you. Whether you require help finding financial support, need someone to talk to, or something else entirely, we can help you find a solution. When money gets tight, we know it can be overwhelming. Whether you suffer a sudden illness, require assistance with priority bills or you’re struggling to make ends meet. We carefully and sensitively deliver support to the RAF community to suit the needs of everyone we help. We work in partnership with other organisations to make sure we can provide the correct support. We’ll be there with you every step of the way, to explain anything that might feel difficult or overwhelming, and simply to lend support as and when you need it. Our criteria mean we will support those who are currently serving or have served in the RAF, their spouse/partner and dependants.
