The NAAFI Fund is making a big impact on the lives of service personnel and their families!
Over the past five years, we’ve proudly supported 467 projects with grants worth £4,295,201 to improve the quality of life for serving personnel and their families around the world.
In 2024, we supported a variety of projects across 15 different countries and are excited to see the results from all the projects, but especially the state of the art E-Sports Gaming Centre in Cyprus, the bustling Beach Bar in Diego Garcia, the exciting new Sports Club in RAF Brize Norton and finally the long-awaited Mess Refurbishments onboard HMS Scott.
This year, the NAAFI Fund are doing things a bit differently and we think you will love it! Firstly, the application window is being extended, meaning that the application portal will open for two months instead of the previous one month. Secondly, we are opening the application portal earlier, which means that the NAAFI Fund will launch on Tuesday 1st April 2025 and will remain open until Friday 30th May 2025, giving you longer to submit your exciting ideas to us. Finally, we’re continuing to make things easier for applicants with there now being just one application form to complete.
NAAFI Fund applications are open to all UK Armed Forces personnel stationed around the world and we can’t wait to hear from you!
Hannah McCourt, Fund Manager, said: “Every year, Service personnel around the world continue to amaze me with their new, exciting ideas – I anticipate that this year will be no different. It has been fantastic getting out and about seeing first-hand the incredible benefits the units receive from the funding. Our relationships with the Funding teams from the Navy, Army and Air Force continues to grow to ensure collectively our funding reaches all aspects of the services.”
