Joint Force for Good
The two main RAF charities have produced a new collection box which will soon appear at all RAF stations in the UK.
All RAF Benevolent Fund and RAF Association collection boxes are being replaced by a single new joint box, splitting proceeds between the two charities and raising awareness of the way they work together to support Royal Air Force families.
Dean Benton, Director of Marketing and Communications for the RAF Benevolent Fund said:
“This new collection box is a reflection of the way our two great organisations pull together to support the RAF family - on stations, on operations and after leaving the Service. By joining our collection effort we are confident we can fundraise much more effectively among the hugely supportive Royal Air Force community, delivering better welfare services as a result.”
The RAF Association’s Secretary General, Jane Easton, added:
“Funds raised from these tins will be just one way in which we can help to ensure charitable support for the whole RAF family. Anyone wishing to donate can be sure that the money they are giving will go directly to those who need it most.”
