Family fun at RAF Northolt and military bases across the country
THE company that owns the married quarters at RAF Northolt helped stage the first ever Forces Playday on Wednesday.
The aim was to encourage children from service families to rediscover the joy of playing outside, increase wellbeing and boost morale amongst Forces families.
Forces Playday benefited 8,500 youngsters at more than 70 Army, Navy and RAF bases across the country.
Annington’s sponsorship allowed every base to buy equipment and traditional toys, such as skipping ropes and chalks.
It also provided Road Closed signs, which will allow supervised play sessions to run throughout the summer holidays.
