Giving Back

Supporting those that serve, in four different ways

There are four main mechanisms in which NAAFI give back, supporting the UK Armed Forces wherever they are based.

We directly give back to local units to enhance their lived experience through Welfare Returns. This money is generated from retail and hospitality surpluses, meaning the personnel that use our facilities are directly supporting new initiatives which, in turn support them.

The NAAFI Fund offers units worldwide the opportunity to invest in their own welfare and wellbeing projects.
We regularly commit to investing into our facilities, ensuring the Forces communities we host have the best environments to thrive in.

We are proud to supporting serving personnel both in and outside of duty. We demonstrate this through sponsoring significant military sports teams – but it’s not just sports teams we partner with, we also support various military-based events around the world.
