Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust - Family Focus Programme 2024/25

Details

The Family Focus programme offers grants of between £50,000 and £100,000 to fund projects that explore and pilot solutions for family members --collectively and as individuals -- of wounded, injured and sick serving personnel or Veterans.

Your project will need to meet one or more of the following outcomes:

  • Improved access to support for families, through information, advice and guidance.
  • Improved family bonds, through meaningful opportunities together.
  • Increased resilience for family members with a caring role, through wellbeing activities.
  • Family members feel that their needs are recognised and that they can receive targeted support that addresses these changing needs over time.
  • Parents are better supported to respond to changes in family life, where there are children within the family unit.
  • Family carers have enhanced employability, through access to skills development which enables them to plan for the future.
  • Organisations and agencies can demonstrate that they are equipped with the skills and knowledge to address the specific needs of the families of wounded, injured and sick serving personnel and/or Veterans.

It is essential that your project is informed by your target beneficiaries.
