Aircrew Association Charitable Fund

Registered Charity No 299080

The Aircrew Association Charitable Fund became a registered charity in 1986, since when it has assisted many people who have been in urgent need of financial assistance.

The aims and objects of the charity are to advance public education and to relieve poverty and hardship particularly among persons who are eligible for full membership of the Aircrew Association and the dependants or relatives of such persons throughout England and Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland.

The Fund exists to provide speedy 'first aid' financial assistance and, if required, help in contacting other organisations for longer term assistance. Our help is confidential. Please contact us if you need, or if you know someone else who needs, financial help. We will try to respond as quickly as possible.
