There are many ways the RAF Benevolent Fund can support you and your family
We always aim to provide a tailor-made approach to each individual situation ensuring you get the best support when you need it.
If you are looking for financial support, we can help you cover one-off costs to providing you with benefits advice. From therapy sessions and workshops to breaks for serving families and Airplay, our flagship youth support programme, we are here for the whole family.
We can also offer emotional wellbeing support for you and your family which includes access to Headspace and our listening and counselling service. Through our weekly Telephone friendship groups, we can help you connect with like-minded people.
If you require help with care costs or are wanting to live independently in your own home, we can help with practical solutions like equipment, adaptations and breaks away as well as advocacy if you have a care related issue.
