A gift in your Will is a very special way to always be 'part of the heart' of the RAF Family. Helping the RAF Benevolent Fund to give lifelong support to its people and their loved ones in their time of need.

Around half of our work is only possible through the kindness of people like you, leaving gifts in Wills.

Why leave a gift in your Will?

Loved ones. Children. Friends. Whatever 'family' looks like, it’s important for so many of us. After you've made provision for those you hold dear, please consider leaving a gift in your Will to the Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund.  This gift is a pledge to support our vital work and ensure we can be there for members of the RAF Family, in whatever way they need us, for as long as they need us.  

You’ll be helping those who served and those who continue to serve along with their families, defending our freedom for generations to come; through confidential counselling and mobility aids to respite breaks for families and financial assistance.

How your money is spent

In 2022, supporters raised £17.4m for the RAF Benevolent Fund. Of that, approx. £12.3m was from gifts left in wills.  
 
Because of this, we were able to provide essential service and care including: 

  • £374k on topping up Care Home fees so RAF Family members can live in comfort in the best home possible 

  • £604k to adapting housing enabling RAF Family members to remain living independently in the home they love

  • £35k to RAF Brize Norton to help build a new "community and Social Centre”
