THE 70TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ROYAL AIR FORCES ASSOCIATION (RAFA)

Listen to this article

On Easter Monday 1st April, the Costa Blanca Branch of the Royal Air Forces Association marked the 70th Anniversary of the Association with a Service of Celebration at the La Siesta Community Church.

As one of the longest standing service charities, RAFA has been proud to have helped and continues to help the whole Royal Air Force family, by providing friendship, help and support to current and former members of the RAF and their dependants. The kind of welfare support is wide ranging; everything from providing home visits and respite care breaks, and working closely with the RAF Benevolent Fund in providing financial assistance in times of difficulty. The majority of this work is funded purely from the generosity of the 65,000 membership worldwide, and the generosity of supporters.

In Spain there are three RAFA Branches, the Costa Blanca Branch in the Torrevieja area, North Costa Blanca Branch, to the North of Benidorm and Benalmadena Branch in the South, who continually monitor the needs of ex-RAF members and their families who live in Spain to try and ensure any needs are met. Although one of the lesser known charitable organisations, especially here in Spain, the welfare and social ethos of the Association’s past 70 years will continue to be at the forefront of actions and will , hopefully, continue to be so for a long time to come.

Thank you

Bruce Heath – Branch President
