Giving Back

NAAFI Fund opens for applications 1st April 2025

How do NAAFI Give Back to UK Armed Forces and Defence Communities?

There are four main mechanisms in which we give back, supporting the UK Armed Forces wherever they are based in a variety of ways.

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 those that use our facilities are directly supporting new initiatives which, in turn support them.

The NAAFI Fund offers units worldwide the opportunity to fund their own welfare and wellbeing projects. NAAFI has pledged to give back £10m by 2030 through the Fund.

We regularly commit to investing in our facilities we operate across the world, ensuring the UK Armed Forces we host always have the best environments to thrive in.

We also partner with second-tier sporting teams, providing them with equipment and everything they need to succeed on and off the pitch or court! We are currently proud sponsors of Royal Navy Rugby League, Army Water Polo and RAF Netball.
