Welcome to this third and final oral evidence session on this, the Defence Select Sub-Committee inquiry looking at the experiences faced by women in the military and female veterans. First, I would like to thank and pay tribute to the previous Veterans’ Minister, Johnny Mercer, who was a great support to me and a good support to this Sub- Committee. We wish his replacement Minister, Leo Docherty, all the luck in the future. To date 4,106 serving personnel and veterans have completed our survey and submitted evidence in that survey format. We have received 76 pieces of full written evidence. We have held focus groups with 12 serving personnel and after today we will have held three sessions taking oral evidence from 12 witnesses. The weight of evidence has been compelling, with a spectrum of concerns being raised.

  • Spring Newsletter 2019
    Spring Newsletter 2019 Welcome to the Spring Newsletter for Trusts and Livery Companies. In this issue we introduce the RAF Benevolent Fund Centenary Appeal, share veterans’ stories, and give an update on some latest welfare developments. In 2019, the Fund’s 100th anniversary year, we are making a commitment to double the number of RAF Family members we help, to 100,000 people by 2021. There are 1.5 million people in the RAF Family today. Three-quarters are over 65 years of age – the Second World War and National Service generations. The older veterans’ top welfare needs are identified as: self-care, mobility, loneliness and isolation, financial security, and mental health and wellbeing. The Fund has a duty of care to those who have donned the light blue uniform, particularly as they face often complex welfare needs in older age. We estimate that as many as 300,000 RAF Family members need support, of whom 100,000 need our help urgently. In our centenary year we are launching a campaign to find these veterans and ensure we can provide them with the support they deserve. Doubling our reach will cost £90m over 5 years, with 2023 seeing a peak of demand before the RAF Family is expected to reduce in size. We are making a commitment to invest £31m from the charity’s reserves and aim to raise £49m through ongoing fundraising involvement. This will leave a shortfall – our Centenary Appeal – of £10m. Everyone is close to someone who served: our research has determined that 1 in 10 of over 65-year-old people in the UK is a member of the RAF Family.
