Level Up Your Life: RAF Cranwell’s New Tabletop Gaming Haven

Thanks to a Β£4,000 grant from the NAAFI Fund, RAF Cranwell has levelled up its recreational offerings! Β With the generous support, the project was able to transform a former carpet store into a dedicated space for tabletop gaming enthusiasts. The facility is now open to all service personnel, veterans and their families, offering a wide range of activities to suit all tastes.Β 

There are dedicated areas within the gaming paradise, so whether you’re into wargaming, role-playing, or board games, they’ve got space for you… there’s even a special spot for painting and modelling. Β The extra capacity and furnishings have allowed the members to engage with the local community and veterans in a warm and welcoming space. Β Β 

Group Captain Tina Jessup, Station Commander of RAF Cranwell, stated β€œThe NAAFI Fund has enabled one of our vital social clubs to remain open and expand into a new space. With the assistance of this generous grant, they have transformed an under-utilised set of rooms into a welcoming space as part of the station social hub that contributes to station wellbeing and community support for the whole Service Family. The Fund has already begun to allow this outreach to expand and grow with holiday gaming days for service children, and space for veterans to come and socialise with serving personnel in comfort!” 

So, what are you waiting for? Pop down, make new friends and explore the new tabletop gaming space!Β
