Search the Armed Forces Community

We stand at the forefront of support for the Army family. We award grants to individuals and families, and fund leading charities and organisations to ensure help is there when you need it.

Welfare is at the absolute heart of the Royal Air Forces Association. Whether you need someone to talk to, help finding financial support, some time away to rest or something else entirely, we can help you find a solution. We support anyone who has had one day's pay and one day's service in the RAF, as well as their spouses, widows and dependants.

The Official AFVBC is a welcoming community where veterans connect over breakfast, share experiences, and access support. The clubs provide not just camaraderie during gatherings, but also help address wider welfare needs beyond the breakfast table.

This GOV.UK page is a trusted starting point where veterans and their families can explore support options for civilian life. It brings together advice on health, housing, employment, pensions, and more — helping to navigate life after service with guidance that extends well beyond the barracks.
