The Wings Grand Prize Draw works to raise funds and awareness for the RAF Association, which exists to support RAF personnel and their families, who dedicate their lives to our country every day.
Forces Cars Direct is honoured to support this worthy cause with the Star Prize of a brand new Toyota Aygo X-Play for the draw, which takes place in May 2017.
Forces Cars Direct Managing Director, Steve Thornton, said “We recognise the tremendous effort of our Armed Forces personnel and it is our company ethos to reward, not only through new car discounts, but through support for military charities and community events. The Wings Grand Draw brings the RAF community together to make a significant difference to people’s lives, and of course, gives them a chance to win some top prizes too!”
RAFA carries out thousands of welfare visits, calls and emails people in need of assistance, short welfare breaks for those requiring respite care, in addition to the supportive and sheltered housing facilities throughout the UK. Not forgetting their work providing welfare grants, war pensions advice, and befriending, RAFA continues to support their force of voluntary welfare officers who help to deliver welfare to those in need.
Support through the Grand Draw also allows RAFA to develop initiatives for those people who are serving in the RAF today, like Storybook Wings which provides comfort to the small children of serving personnel posted overseas away from their families or special houses on RAF stations known as Contact Houses which provide short-term accommodation for estranged families, or relatives visiting sick or injured personnel.

1st prize: Toyota Aygo X-Play
2nd prize: Cruise holiday
3rd prize: An exclusive day with the RAF Red Arrows for 4 people
4th prize: An Apple iPad
5th prize: Gliding experience
