RIAT25 Techno Zone Crowds

Support us

The RAFCT is powered by the Royal International Air Tattoo.  However, in order for us to reach  as many young people as possible with unique and exciting STEM, aviation and space experiences, particularly those who might not otherwise have the opportunity, your support is pivotal.  

This might be through buying tickets or Royal International Tattoo merchandise, or by choosing to support us via your company or an individual donation.  

We are enormously grateful to everyone who makes it possible for us to work with so many young people, across the UK and all year-round.  

The RAFCT does not conduct fundraising appeals, but we always welcome new supporters.  If there is an area of our work that you are particularly interested in, get in touch for more information.

Corporate Support

Technology and aviation continue to advance at an unprecedented rate.  The IET estimates that the skills shortage in STEM jobs costs the UK economy £1.5b a year, and there are over 173,000 STEM vacancies.  

The All-Party Parliamentary Group on Diversity and Inclusion in STEM also notes significant inequality in high skilled and graduate level STEM roles for those from socially deprived backgrounds.
