Community Engagement Workers are part of a program operated by The Fund, covering the East and South East of England, with remote support available for members of the RAF Family living elsewhere. They aim to combat loneliness, which can lead to health issues, by helping individuals re-connect with their local communities. This assistance includes practical support, financial aid, and companionship for various situations. The program operates in nine counties and offers social activities, telephone friendship groups, and befriending services for those unable to participate in-person. To access these services, one can call or use the online referral form.

For more than 100 years, the RAF Benevolent Fund has been supporting members of our RAF Family through thick and thin, providing practical, emotional, and financial support whenever they need us. 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. In 2022 we supported over 40,700 veterans, serving personnel and their families. 13,800 were supported with their emotional wellbeing and more than 6,900 were supported financially.
