The Royal Air Force Music Charitable Trust
President: Air Chief Marshal Sir Michael Graydon GCB CBE FRAeS RAF
Promoting welfare funding through the performance of live music by RAF Musicians.
The Royal Air Force Music Charitable Trust was established in December 2003 by Malcolm Goodman (former PR and Marketing Manager for the RAF Music Services and RAF Musician at Royal Air Force Cranwell). Under its President, Air Chief Marshal Sir Michael Graydon GCB CBE (former Chief of the Air Staff), the charitable trust was subsequently registered as a service charity with the Charity Commission in January 2004. The Charity is administered by its Board of Trustees to promote welfare funding through the performance of live music by Royal Air Force musicians, and routinely provides welfare donations to other service charities, whilst offering its support towards the development of other charity fundraising concerts both in the UK and overseas. The Charity also provides welfare support for Royal Air Force musicians who undertake 'Out of Area' deployments in Afghanistan and other operational theatres. The Royal Air Force Music Charitable Trust also provides online sales facilities for the purchase of RAF music CDs and is currently promoting a new series of concerts for the RAF Bands in Lincolnshire and Middlesex.
