RAF Marham RAFA Branch is an affiliated branch of the wider National Royal Airforce Association. We support serving personnel and families, veterans and families through direct welfare and wellbeing support at a local level.. We actively raise funds for the Annual RAFA Wings Appeal who support the wider RAF Family across the UK and beyond. All active members are solely volunteers.

We provide a wide range of Welfare support and facilities for both serving and retired members of the RAF and their dependents. We also provide respite care using one of the homes throughout the UK operated by the main RAFA charity. We are finding that the area we cover is constantly increasing due to adjacent branch closures, due to the age of members; many of who served in WWII.
