Welcome to your June e-newsletter
Dear Robert,
In this June issue, we’re back to give you the latest news and stories from
the RAF Benevolent Fund.
It has been a busy month, starting off with the 80th anniversary of D-Day
<https://email.rafbf.org.uk/c/AQjigBYQqJ8MGMuMgzcg-pTpAbNYWyVJNUAmefPK7yTzzw5SA_wsq-z4y7dN6OwGYwEJ>
– read our selection of stories to commemorate the occasion below.
Join us as we celebrate our RAF Family for Armed Forces Week, looking back
at our support over the decades, speaking to celebrity supporter Johnny Ball
<https://email.rafbf.org.uk/c/AQjigBYQqJ8MGMuMgzcg-5TpATocdtzE70eJRc9zY_NTesIRjQZ1bkjnlqUF-uCR3Z26>

and his family.
To mark Loneliness Awareness Week which took place earlier this month, we
spoke with some veterans who attended our Group Friendship Breaks in
Nottinghamshire and Wiltshire. The Breaks help veterans

Oops! Sorry for the recent spelling mistakes
When we emailed you recently about changing email platforms, a few of you
noticed we had made some spelling errors so we wanted to apologise to you
for our carelessness.
We are sorry if that caused you concern about the legitimacy of the email
and we ask for your patience as we get to grips with this new platform.

Our Tin Foil Aeroplane Challenge
<https://email.rafbf.org.uk/c/AQjigBYQqJ8MGMuMgzcgg5XpATUV5qjCRs55SwqgMQe-LYnO6aRHn_CO6vhKBDENMcuj>
came to an end and our leaderboard submissions were entered into a
randomised prize draw to win a limited-edition Red Arrows coin. And the
winner is… Rachel Martin of 2311 (Leslie & Glenrothes) Squadron RAF Air
Cadets – congratulations! Thank you to all who made their tin foil planes
and shared videos with us.
Two of our ambassadors, Dan Pelling and Mike Goody, featured in a D-Day 80
special episode of BBC’s Bargain Hunt, up against two other veterans to
auction their antique finds for the most profit. Did they win? Read the blog

Armed Forces Week
<https://email.rafbf.org.uk/c/AQjigBYQqJ8MGMuMgzcghpXpAQMasEAeAHLmBWH-jOFJ4f77b4Ztjs2sZWNwzEqoeq0A>
To mark Armed Forces Week (24-29 June) we want to highlight how we’ve been
there for serving personnel, veterans and their families over the last
century, and continue to provide vital support today.
For RAF Reservist Sergeant Neil Sinclair, we were there to support him and
his family when his 10-month-old daughter was diagnosed with a rare medical
condition and needed specialist mobility equipment.
Neil said: “I left the regular Air Force because I couldn’t commit while
looking after Grace – she’s my number one priority. The Reserves gives me a
great balance – I can be there for Grace and take her to any appointments.
We don’t know what the future holds for Grace, but knowing the Fund will be
there whatever happens is so reassuring.” You can read Neil’s story here
<https://email.rafbf.org.uk/c/AQjigBYQqJ8MGMuMgzcg_JTpAbdwK_NyMAm8EZXW438Pqu1i-HIVK0JpFi8tWgukxAGL>
.
Over the generations we’ve supported war veterans such as Guinea Pig Club
member Doug Vince following his plane crash in 1944, and the spouses and
families of those who’ve served, including Jacqui Thompson who lost her
husband Gary when his vehicle was hit by a landmine in Afghanistan.
We also spoke with Fund Ambassador Bob Greig
<https://email.rafbf.org.uk/c/AQjigBYQqJ8MGMuMgzcgh5XpAXYxyYbynFCQENAXQEf0xu_-namsVcCsgKTU2fh_BIbt>
40 years on from the parachute accident that left him paralysed. He
reflected on how the life-long support from the Fund has enabled him to keep
his independence and quality of life.
Read all about how we have helped various members of the RAF Family over the
last century in our blog, and don’t forget to check out our exclusive guest
blog with RAF veteran and TV personality Johnny Ball

Vibrant fun at RAF Cranwell Colour Run
<https://email.rafbf.org.uk/c/AQjigBYQqJ8MGMuMgzcgiJXpAd4AZ-2cVoPju9EgFt1PYDH4G8-6--7MLlfOHl8kpUPi>
On Wednesday 12 June, RAF Cranwell burst into a kaleidoscope of colours as
it hosted the inaugural RAF Lincolnshire Colour Run. The vibrant event
brought together Whole Force, families and community members for a day
filled with fun, fitness, and a splash of colour.
Participants of all ages took part in the 5K fun run, which featured five
powder stations along the route where volunteers doused runners in brightly
coloured powder. The course wound through the historic grounds of RAF
Cranwell, providing a picturesque backdrop to the event.
The runners crossed the finish line to live music, with friends and family
cheering them on and plenty of photo opportunities to capture their
colourful transformations.
Holly Youd, Community Fundraiser for Central, North England and Wales at the
Fund said: "The Colour Run was not just about fun and games; it also aimed
to promote our welfare services and fundraise for the services to take
place. The day perfectly encapsulated the spirit of unity, health, and joy,
painting a beautiful picture of community spirit and military pride."

The importance of social connections
<https://email.rafbf.org.uk/c/AQjigBYQqJ8MGMuMgzcgiZXpARI_qzPivzv7breQaeyLBjefwt4Xq0rxkrpE8wHtxSl5>
In light of Loneliness Awareness Week this June, our Community Engagement
team took 45 veterans on two Group Friendship Breaks in Nottinghamshire and
Wiltshire.
Our beneficiaries enjoyed activities such as archery, rifle shooting,
dancing, yoga, evening entertainment and afternoon tea.
Attendee Roger, 81, said: "The people here are really caring and we're able
to meet new people. When you're retired you find yourself drifting into a
routine – these breaks are good to break out of that and meet people who
understand you and are living with similar experiences.”
