Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit) We had a busy year with Welfare for Veterans. We had 2 veterans who were homeless, so we had to get help from other charities to help get them into accommodation. We also visited veterans to make sure they were coping and if help either financial or other was required.
OROYAL AIRFORCES Association The charity that supports the RAF family Section D Achievements and performance Summary of the main achievements of the branch during the year As a small Branch due to the age of most of our members we were able to check on our very elderly members, as we increased the RAFA profile in this area. We were invited as a military charity to meetings with other military charities we have never previously been involved with and hopefully we can keep this going. Our aims are to assist veterans and their families and to that end we had a very busy year. We had to ask for assistance from another veterans charity in some extreme cases. Due to the cost of living, we were contacted by veterans requiring financial assistance. Section E Declaration The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees, report above.
