The Alresford and District branch of the Royal Air Force Association meets every month to conduct its business with the primary purpose of providing support to ex RAF members and their families. We do this by raising funds via donations for the Wings Appeal charity and via our welfare fund, to support members who are ill, or in need of assistance, especially any war injured and their dependants.
