In the charity's own words
We provide a wide range of Welfare support and facilities for both serving and retired members of the RAF and their dependents. We also provide respite care using one of the homes throughout the UK operated by the main RAFA charity. We are finding that the area we cover is constantly increasing due to adjacent branch closures, due to the age of members; many of who served in WWII.
