Why your support matters

Every mile, every kilometre and every donation helps the RAF Museum continue its vital work collecting, preserving and sharing the stories of the Royal Air Force—including the remarkable legacy of the Red Arrows.

Your fundraising helps us care for our nationally important collections, inspire future generations and create memorable experiences for visitors of all ages.

Here’s what your fundraising could achieve:

  • £25 could provide refreshments for older people attending our Carers’ Café sessions.
  • £75 could fund a school class taking part in our Second World War Battle of Britain workshop.
  • £250 could provide a tools storage cabinet for engineering apprentices at our conservation centre.
  • £500 could supply essential tools for the volunteers who help care for our historic aircraft collection.

No matter how much you raise, your support helps ensure these stories continue to inspire future generations.
