Supporting RAF Sport with discounted accommodation.

THE SPORTS ACCOMMODATION SPECIALISTS

The RAF Central Fund is proud to partner with SportsHotels.com to provide exclusive discounted accommodation for RAF personnel travelling to participate in recognised RAF Sport Association events.

We understand that sourcing suitable military accommodation to support delivery of key RAF Sport Association activities can sometimes prove challenging. The following pathway has been established to help Sport Associations navigate these challenges.

Whether local or overseas, our partnership with SportsHotels.com helps ensure accommodation is cost-effective and straightforward to arrange.

*Please note: All queries related to bookings are dealt with by the SportsHotels.com team, not the RAF Central Fund.

RAF Sport Association Booking Process

To ensure the best use of facilities and funding available, please follow the three simple steps below to arrange your RAF Sport Association group bookings.

Check Military Accommodation

RAF Sport Associations should first contact Stations/Units local to the competition or event to request accommodation.

If military accommodation is unavailable, please email confirmation of this to:
Directorate of RAF Sport (DRS).

Eligibility Confirmation

Once confirmed, DRS will notify the RAF Central Fund that the Association may seek a non-military solution.

The Association can then request a quote from SportsHotels.com via The Sports Desk or Central Fund Booking Platform below.

Funding Solutions

With the appropriate approvals in place, Associations may opt to use their RAFCF grant funding to book accommodation (normally outside standard policy).

Any remaining funding gaps should be discussed with the grants department.
