Armed Forces Covenant: Local Grants Programme is Open for Applications
26/04/2018
The 2018/19 round invites eligible organisations to apply for funding for community integration projects and local delivery of services that support the Armed Forces community in the UK.
The Armed Forces Covenant is an agreement between the nation, Government and Armed Forces that recognises the whole nation has a moral obligation to current and former members of the armed forces and their families, and sets out how they should expect to be treated. The Armed Forces Covenant Fund was established by the Ministry of Defence in 2015 to support this objective and became an independent trust this year. It is an enduring fund with £10 million available each year to support projects that address specific priorities.
