Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund and its work in Wiltshire

Proposed Motion - 14 signatures

Content

That this House recognises the exceptional work of the Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund (RAFBF) in supporting members of the RAF family and their dependants across the United Kingdom; commends in particular its vital contribution in Wiltshire, home to many serving personnel, veterans, and their families; applauds the Fund’s wide-ranging support for those in need, including financial assistance, housing support, mental health services, and wellbeing programmes; notes that this work is especially important at a time when too many veterans continue to fall through the gaps in public provision and face challenges with housing, cost-of-living pressures, and access to mental health care; agrees that those who have put their lives on the line in defence of our country deserve proper recognition, respect, and support; and calls on the Government to work closely with trusted charities such as the RAFBF to deliver a fair deal for service personnel and veterans, including ensuring that compensation for illness or injury is never subject to means testing, improving access to decent housing, and expanding mental health support for those who have served.
