The cornerstone of our Welfare Work is the Honorary Welfare Officer.
We have a network of dedicated Honorary Welfare Officers (HWO’s), supported by Area Welfare Officers and the Welfare Department at Central Headquarters. The Honorary Welfare Officers offer comradeship, advice and practical help to those who require support.
We provide this service to all who are serving or have served – you do not need to be a member of the RAF Association to become eligible for this help. Further to this the RAF Association is in the process of training new RAFA Caseworkers to compliment the existing HWOs and work in the areas where there is little or no HWO coverage.
An introduction to RAFA Welfare Services Leaflet
There are nine regional Area Welfare Officers who will organise for your local Honorary Welfare Officer or RAFA Caseworker to visit you and identify your needs so we can support and advise as necessary.
