This grant has enabled them to purchase low-maintenance mountain bikes, protective equipment and accessories. The donation will allow TSW personnel to use mountain bikes for recreational purposes and improve their fitness.

The donation to the TSW was made as part of the NAAFI Fund’s commitment to supporting the health and wellbeing of Armed Forces personnel, whilst recognising the importance of physical fitness and outdoor activities.

TSW have used the mountain bikes for low cost local Adventure Training, which has provided some much needed respite from the demands Serving Personnel within the unit are subjected to.  The mountain bikes have also been tested in longer planned trips to Scotland, which included the exploration of the 7 Stanes, as well as other renowned mountain bike trails.

The TSW are grateful to the NAAFI Fund for their generous donation, with one user saying “What a great day, we wouldn’t have been able to do this without the NAAFI Fund’s support!”, whilst another said “The bikes are brilliant and makes our access to Adventure Training even easier, when can we go again?”

If you think your unit could benefit from some new equipment for Adventure Training, get in touch @naafisocial.
