Application procedure
In order to come and stay with us you need a ’sponsor’.
Your sponsor will fill in the forms necessary to assess your financial situation in order to determine whether the RAF Benevolent Fund can help pay towards the cost of your stay.
Your sponsor will also assess your care needs, so that we can ensure we provide the correct level of care during your stay.
We usually use SSAFA and RAFA welfare officers as sponsors. To arrange a visit from a welfare officer, you can
- contact the RAFA Area Welfare Officer on 0208 286 6667
- contact your local RAFA Branch
- contact your local SSAFA branch (see www.ssafa.org.uk/Branch/index.html)
- contact the RAF Benevolent Fund support line on 0800 169 2942 and ask for help with “Welfare breaks”
