Who we are

The RAF Association has a clear objective: to help sustain a resilient and empowered RAF community, including serving personnel, RAF veterans and their families. Through our sector leading services, we offer friendship to the isolated and lonely, dedicated casework to support individuals, sheltered housing for those who want to remain proudly independent and high quality childcare on RAF Stations for serving families. Safeguarding and respect are at the heart of everything we do. We work together to make sure no one is ever left behind. We have a long and proud track record of supporting the RAF community, and helping people maintain independence, build resilience and stay connected to the RAF community.
