Fundraising Trustee

For more than a century, the RAF Benevolent Fund has stood beside the RAF Family; through war and peace, hardship and change. From the first day in uniform to the final years of life, we have been a constant source of emotional, practical and financial support. Today, our work reaches serving personnel, veterans, families and the bereaved in more than 30 countries. As the demands on the RAF Family grow in complexity and urgency, so too must the resilience of the charity that serves them. Our ability to provide life-changing support, whether keeping a family in their home, helping veterans navigate injury or isolation, or walking beside the bereaved, relies on strong, stable and sustainable income streams. Therefore, we are seeking a Trustee with significant fundraising expertise to help shape and strengthen our long-term financial future. The successful candidate will join our diverse and highly skilled Board and Fundraising, Communications and Engagement Committee to: • play a key strategic role in supporting our fundraising vision and strategy • provide strategic input into fundraising plans and campaigns • support and advise on income generation, donor engagement and partnerships The full role description can be found on our website here.
