About us
For over 90 years, the RAF Association have championed a simple belief – that no member of the RAF community should ever be left without the help that they need.

Last year, we supported over 85,500 members of the RAF community who required practical, emotional or financial assistance. For the sake of everyone who needs our help, we continue to evolve and innovate to meet new challenges and remain at the leading edge of service provision. We champion the best interests of the RAF community and work together to make sure no one is ever left behind.
