How can I help?

Become a Member

Join the RAF Association (RAFA) and help current and past members of the RAF by fundraising, taking an active role in your Branch or supporting their welfare activities. Please refer to our Membership section for further information on becoming part of The RAF Association.

Make a Donation

Each year we have to raise £8 million to continue our essential work. You can also help by:

Gift Aid all your Donations

This will make your donations worth another 28% at no extra cost to you. You must be a current tax payer to be able authorise this but we would be very grateful if you could emphasise your donations as gift aid.

Leave a gift in your Will

Writing a Will is also a wonderful opportunity to make a difference to the lives of people who have served in the RAF and their dependants. Every legacy we receive, no matter how small, enables us to expand the support and welfare we give. What better legacy could you leave?

A Gift instead of funeral flowers

Many people ask for donations to be made to a nominated charity, these donations help the RAF Association and local Branches to continue to provide support to those who need it most.

There are many ways in which YOU can make a difference in addition to those above, for further information, please contact RAFA directly on 0116 266 5224 for further information.
