Why fundraise for the RAF Benevolent Fund?
Every fundraiser makes a meaningful difference to members of the RAF Family who need support. By choosing to fundraise for the RAF Benevolent Fund, you're helping serving personnel, veterans and their families access practical, emotional and financial assistance when they need it most.
For more than 100 years, we've been there for the RAF Family through life's challenges, providing support for those facing illness, injury, financial hardship, bereavement and loneliness. Whether you take on a charity challenge, organise a local event or fundraise at work, every pound you raise helps us continue this vital work.
When you fundraise with us, you'll also receive support from our dedicated fundraising team, with resources, advice and inspiration to help make your event a success.
Your support makes a difference
The money you raise will go towards supporting members of the RAF Family such as fomer SAC Luke Wigman. Luke was seriously injured in an IED explosion in Afghanistan in 2011 and after six years of service he was medically discharged from the RAF in 2013, facing the daunting prospect of finding a new career.
Luke wanted to improve his driving skills and turned to the Fund to help him pay for an advanced driving qualification course. The qualification also helped Luke when he later went on to train as an Emergency Care Assistant for East Midlands Ambulance Service.
