The RAF Charitable Trust

The Ulysses Trust is proud to be supported by the Royal Air Force Charitable Trust (RAFCT) – an RAF charity that supports projects, such as flying scholarships and STEM initiatives, which benefit RAF serving personnel, cadets and other young people. The RAF Charitable Trust’s mission compliments our vision to ensure that every member of the UK’s Volunteer Reserve and Cadet Forces has the opportunity to undertake challenging adventurous and community-related activities. RAFCT’s continuous support and contribution helps us to deliver our vision.

Here is a selection of just some of the expeditions that together with RAFCT, Ulysses Trust has been able to fund:
