Charity chiefs vet welfare services

Staff Reporter

THE RAF Benevolent Fund has teamed up with Middlesex University to research why some veterans and their families do not access welfare services that are designed for them.

The Forces charity is looking for Air Force veterans and their partners to take part in the online survey, which aims to help make welfare support more userfriendly.

Dr Hannah Brooking, research and evaluation manager at the RAF Benevolent Fund, said: “This is an important piece of research investigating the barriers that exist for members of the RAF Family.

“By coming forward for help, this research can help us to better target and reach those in need.
