In 2010, the RAF Hawk Display team has chosen to support two charities, the RAF Benevolent Fund and the Wales Air Ambulance.

All funds raised through the sales of memorabilia and the Text competition will be donated to and shared equally between the two charities.

If you wish to make a contribution to either charity please contact us and the Hawk team will be happy to donate it on your behalf.

RAF Benevolent Fund

The RAFBF exists to provide financial and practical assistance to anyone who is serving or has ever served in the RAF, and their partners and dependants too. It provides individual grants to help with care, housing and mobility, as well as funding specialist services for members of the RAF family. In line with its new expanded mission to support the well-being and morale of the RAF, the RAFBF is currently funding new services designed to relieve pressure on serving personnel, such as childcare centres on stations, debt advice services and relationship counselling.

Show your support by donating to the fund.

Wales Air Ambulance

Wales Air Ambulance is an all Wales charity providing a vital service through emergency air cover for those who face life-threatening illness or injuries.

Owing to its widely scattered population and diverse landscape, many in Wales live in isolated locations far from an accident and emergency service. Also, the ever increasing problem of traffic congestion and collisions in more urban areas denotes delayed response times for land ambulances. For these reasons, there is a recognised need for three helicopters on active duty 365 days a year.
