RAFBF

Supporting RAF veterans to maintain their independence

Many of our personal alarm customers are armed forces veterans whose lives have been enhanced with the reassurance a personal alarm has given them.

Retired Squadron Leader A. Garretts MBE had an impressive and varied 30-year career in the RAF. Mr Garretts first got an alarm from Taking Care when his wife became unwell some years ago.

The alarm gave him and his family peace of mind that help was always available when needed and allowed Mr Garretts to pop to the shops without the fear of leaving his wife alone.

Our personal alarms include a 30-day money back guarantee

At Taking Care, we understand how important it is to stay independent.

We are the first Which? Trusted Trader Approved personal alarm provider and we've supported over ¼ million people and their families with personal alarms.

The RAF Benevolent Fund (a registered charity in England and Wales no:1081009) will receive £40 following each purchase of an alarm through the RAF Benevolent Fund landing page on our website.
