Trusts and Foundations
Making an impact through your organisation
Grants from trusts and foundations play a crucial role in enabling the RAF Association to provide welfare assistance to the RAF family. The Association delivers a number of initiatives alongside its core welfare services that support over 85,000 beneficiaries annually. Initiatives are needs-led and evidence-based and include:
- A befriending service to tackle loneliness and isolation within the RAF family
- Storybook Wings, helping to reduce separation anxiety experienced by Service children
- Raising awareness and reducing stigma surrounding mental wellbeing through Finding it Tough,a bespoke training course designed to meet the specific needs of the RAF family
- Capital projects to meet the needs of Veterans and older members of the RAF family living in our retirement accommodation or taking a respite break in our Wings Break Hotels
