Thank you for thinking about making a donation in memory of a loved one or friend. 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.

There are many ways that friends and family can work together to remember and commemorate a loved one.

Set up an online Tribute Fund

By setting up an online Tribute Fund, you can share memories, pictures and stories about your loved one, as well as raise funds and receive donations that may otherwise have been collected at a funeral.

They also offer you the opportunity to share information and connect with family and friends from all over the world. Your Tribute Fund is a page that lasts a lifetime, you can watch it grow, becoming a reflection of how much your loved one meant to you.

Why should I choose a Tribute Fund to remember my loved one?

  • Light a virtual candle on those special dates
  • Easily track any donations made In-Memory
  • But most importantly, they last forever and provide the opportunity for you to visit whenever that moment feels right.

Whether your loved one has served in the RAF or not, we can ensure their memory lives on in our work, whilst providing a comfort to you.
