The RAF Central Fund is proud to launch our 2025 Impact Report.
This year’s report captures the people, programmes, and partnerships helping us to deliver meaningful support to serving RAF personnel. From enhancing wellbeing and resilience to creating new opportunities for sport and physical activity, each achievement is powered by collective action.
Ross Perriam, CEO of the RAF Central Fund, explains: “2025 marked a year of consolidation and forward momentum. We advanced the merger of RAF Sport Associations into the Central Fund structure which simplifies governance and strengthens the sustainability of RAF Sport.
Our external partnerships reached new heights. The launch of our strategic collaboration with Menzies Aviation is already delivering meaningful support across multiple sports and demonstrates the impact of strong, purpose-driven partnerships.
Our Sport Grants programme continues to be a cornerstone of our work, enabling thousands of personnel worldwide to participate in everything from grassroots activity to elite competition.
Beyond subsidising participation, these grants help individuals reconnect with sport, improve wellbeing and strengthen team cohesion – all vital to operational effectiveness.”
Thank you to our beneficiaries, partners and supporters who continue to underpin our work. Read the full report to learn more about the impact achieved in 2025.
