Support Us

The April Fools Club is proud to raise funds for charities that make a lasting difference to the RAF family and beyond. Since our founding, we have raised nearly £900,000, with all proceeds directed toward causes that reflect our values and mission.

Supporting the April Fools Club means being part of something greater than yourself. Every donation, sponsorship, and act of generosity strengthens our ability to raise vital funds, honour the heritage of the RAF, and help our members make a positive difference in society.

 

Your support allows us to:

  • Fund welfare, education, and wellbeing programmes for RAF personnel, veterans, and their families.

  • Inspire the next generation through charitable partnerships.

  • Deliver events and tours that build fellowship and understanding between Defence and business.

  • Uphold the enduring values of service, loyalty, and camaraderie.

Your support empowers the April Fools Club to honour RAF heritage, strengthen our fellowship, and provide vital help to those who serve, those who have served, and their families.

Our Mission

Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund

The Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund (RAF Benevolent Fund or RAFBF) is the Royal Air Force’s leading welfare charity, providing financial, practical and emotional support to serving and former members of the RAF – regardless of rank – as well as their partners and dependents.

They help members of the RAF family deal with a wide range of issues: from childcare and relationship difficulties to injury and disability, and from financial hardship and debt to illness and bereavement. Any member of the RAF family can approach the fund for help, which includes serving and former members of the RAF, their partners and dependents.
