Details

This programme aims to mitigate the impact of separation and relocation for families of serving personnel and reservists through a place based (location focused) portfolio of projects.

Projects should contribute to lasting and meaningful change within the chosen location, with a clear intention to improve support for serving families over the longer term. Projects will be expected to meet all of the following outcomes:

• Families feel better equipped to manage and reduce the impact of loneliness or isolation during periods of separation or relocation.
• Improved mental health and wellbeing for serving families through preventative, early help or targeted support.
• Organisations in the local community have a stronger, shared understanding of what types of support work well for serving families, including both preventative and responsive models.
• Families are better able to navigate separation, reintegration and relocation, experiencing fewer challenges as a result of strengthened relationships.
• Enhanced collaboration and streamlined support pathways for the serving community through stronger partnerships and improved service integration.
