Forces in Mind Trust

Details

FiMT (Forces in Mind Trust) funds evidence-informed initiatives that improve outcomes for the Armed Forces community, with a focus on a successful and sustainable transition for Service personnel and their families leaving the Armed Forces. Funding must contribute to seven outcome areas: Housing, Employment, Wellbeing and Health, Finance, Criminal Justice, Relationships and Enabler.

Funding is currently focused on a set of priorities, which are described in two groups.

Understanding:

• the unique impact of Service life on families
• the changing nature and needs of the Armed Forces community

Supporting improvement that:

• empowers the system and the individual
• increases collaboration
• improves awareness of the Armed Forces in mainstream services
• takes account of the unique conditions and impact on health and wellbeing

Exceptional applications that do not meet the current priorities are still welcomed, provided they work towards the goal of successful and sustainable transition and contribute to the outcome areas. Projects should have the potential to make a difference beyond their initial scope and bring about sustainable change.

The funder's website has guidance on preparing a strong application and advises applicants to read the eligibility criteria and guidance in full before applying.
