Thank you so much for thinking about making a donation in memory of a friend or loved one. We are honoured and touched that you have thought of the RAF Benevolent Fund. Your donation will make a real difference to the lives of the RAF family.
You can donate online, by post, by phone or arrange a charitable collection at the funeral. And of course please help us claim Gift Aid – it means your donation could be worth around 25% more to us, at no extra cost to you.
If you would like us to write to the family or next of kin we will be happy to do so - please ask. So if you have any queries email tribute@rafbf.org.uk or call us on 020 7307 3444.

Organise a collection
Would you like to remember a relative, friend or colleague in this special way?
It’s quite simple to organise a collection for a funeral. We will provide you collection envelopes for donations in lieu of flowers - so simply get in touch. Or ask the funeral director to organise the collection on your behalf.
If you use our collection envelopes it means we can claim Gift Aid. So with a donation of £40.00, we could receive an additional £10.00 from the Government at no extra cost to you or others.
To order collection envelopes please get in touch with our supporter care team on 020 7307 3376.
You could also:
- Ask friends and family to donate online. You could print the web address – www.rafbf.org/donate - on the order of service.
- Ask those in attendance at the funeral to make their donations directly. Cheques should be made payable to the RAF Benevolent Fund and sent to FREEPOST REMEMBERING SOMEONE SPECIAL, RAF Benevolent Fund, 67 Portland Place, London W1B 1AR
Set up a tribute fund
