The RAF Benevolent Fund has announced the shortlist of nominees for its annual awards, which will take place on 27 April 2023.
Members of the public were invited to make their nominations earlier this year via the Fund’s website and the shortlist was finalised by a panel of judges.
The Fund’s annual awards ceremony is an important opportunity for the charity to acknowledge, celebrate and thank all our supporters. From RAF personnel, veterans and non-serving supporters tirelessly fundraising, to those delivering our welfare services on the ground, these efforts are key to ensuring that the Fund can continue supporting the whole of the RAF Family for years to come.
Air Vice-Marshal Chris Elliot, Chief Executive at the RAF Benevolent Fund, said:
“The Fund’s annual awards ceremony is an integral event in our calendar and allows the opportunity to come together and celebrate the efforts of the Fund’s supporters and commitment to our cause.
“We would be unable to carry out our life-changing work without the significant support from these dedicated groups and individuals, so I’d like to extend my thanks and congratulations to every one of this year’s nominees.”
