The Together for Service Families open programme will award grants to reduce the impact of service-related separation and relocation for families of serving personnel and reservists. It’s open to registered charities, Community Interest Companies CICs, local authorities and armed forces bases.
Key Criteria
Through this programme, Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust will award grantsof between £5,000 and £75,000 to projects that reduce the impact of service-related separation and relocation for families of serving personnel and reservists. These may be pilot projects, or continuation or extension of existing work.
Projects need to meet at least one of the following outcomes:
- Families feel better equipped to manage and reduce the impact of service-related separation, resulting in improved mental health, wellbeing, resilience, relationships and social connections.
- Families feel better equipped to navigate and reduce the impact of relocation, enabling them to access support, build social connections, reduce isolation and settle successfully into new communities.
- Organisations have a stronger understanding of what prevents, reduces or mitigates the impacts of service-related separation or relocation for families and are sharing that learning effectively with other organisations.
Projects may focus on separation, relocation, or both. This should depend on the needs you have identified.
