How your money is spent

In 2023, supporters raised £14.1m for the RAF Benevolent Fund. Of that, approx. £9.1m was from gifts left in wills.

Stuart's life changed when he was injured in the line of duty.

Thanks to your support, we have been able to provide essential service and care including:

  • £290k on topping up Care Home fees so RAF Family members can live in comfort in the best home possible  
  • £2.4M to adapting housing enabling RAF Family members to remain living independently in the home they love
  • £12k to RAF Chicksands to fund a play area where Service children can exercise and have fun.

Gifts left in Wills can make a difference  - both big and small  

  • £500 can buy a standard wheelchair  
  • £5000 can buy a stairlift and cover the cost of installation  
  • £15,000 can pay for adaptations to a property bathroom for a veteran, including hoists, grips and seats for independent living.    
  • £50,000 can pay for 84 children to attend Airplay and Ben Clubs for one year.
