Help With Housing And Repairs

If you require assistance with housing-related issues such as rent, deposits, moving costs, essential repairs, or adaptations, we can provide support. We can help with rent deposits and rent for those at risk of homelessness. We may also challenge tenancy terminations or Local Authority decisions. Additionally, we can cover moving expenses and provide essential furniture, appliances, or carpets. For property repairs or adaptations, financial aid may be available. Individuals with disabilities can seek financial assistance from their local councils. The Affordable Warmth Scheme supports central heating installations and boiler replacements, with possible additional grants. Special housing options are available for RAF personnel with life-changing injuries. Eligibility can be determined through an eligibility checklist, and support applications can be made online or via phone for different funding amounts.

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.
