Armed Forces Families Fund - Empowering Bereaved Military Families Programme

Details

This programme will offer a single portfolio grant of up to £1.8 million, to achieve long term, transformational change in the non-statutory support provided to bereaved military families.

Projects will be expected to meet all of the following outcomes, which have been designed based on the recommendations raised within the research report.

  • Bereaved military families, including wider family members, feel it’s straightforward to access mental health support throughout the stages of grief.
  • Bereaved military families feel that support is equitable, inclusive and holistic, regardless of the nature of bereavement.
  • Bereaved military families feel a sense of connection to the community, should they wish to retain that.
  • Strong collaboration between organisations working to support bereaved military families, and commitment to this as a sustainable way of working together.
  • Better access to holistic packages of support, combining peer-led and professional support.
