Volunteering with the RAF Association


“I love volunteering,Isee it as a permanent thing in my life.” Says Jeni, avolunteer befriender.Volunteers are at the heart of the RAF Association. Without them, we would not be able to deliver as much of our welfare and fundraising work to those in the RAF family who really need it.


Volunteering has long been associated with increased personal wellbeing and happiness1.With so many roles to get involved in and hours to suit even the


smallest of time commitments, here are some of the ways you could volunteer for the Association:


•Caseworker: Youcould help a recently disabled client submit an application for home alterations, or give an isolated individual information about RAF Association Wings Breaks Hotels.


•Fundraising team leader: You would help us to establish and


manage asmall fundraising group. Undertaking events such as raffles, quizzes and supermarket collections, as part of our Wings Appeal.


•Befriender: Youwould visit people at home, offering friendship and alleviating loneliness. To ensure that anyone in the RAF family who needs us feels part of the community.
