NAAFI Fund Grant Transforms RAF Sqn Balcony into a Peaceful Haven

Relaxation at New Heights: RAF Northolt’s Revamped Balcony

32 (The Royal) Squadron at RAF Northolt has received a £5,500 grant from the NAAFI Fund to revitalise their tired balcony social space. The funds were used to purchase durable furniture and lavish plants, transforming the outdoor area into a peaceful and inviting retreat for Squadron and Operations personnel. 

The balcony, previously underutilised, now offers a serene setting for relaxation, informal meetings, and social gatherings. The new furniture and greenery create a calming atmosphere, providing a much-needed break from the demands of military life. 

The NAAFI Fund grant has not only enhanced the physical space but also boosted morale and improved the overall well-being of the squadron members. By investing in this project, the NAAFI Fund has demonstrated its commitment to supporting the welfare of Armed Forces personnel. 

Squadron Leader Tom Woods, said “This project, which was entirely funded by NAAFI, has revitalised the balcony area on 32 (The Royal) Squadron. With previously untapped views across the airfield, it’s now a relaxing outdoor space for work and social activity for all personnel at RAF Northolt. Without the support from the NAAFI Fund, this simply would not have been possible.”
