Grant News
The Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust has announced that its Family Focus programme is open for applications, offering grants of £100,000 to £200,000 for projects supporting Armed Forces families with care needs. The Trust funds projects that improve the lives of serving personnel, veterans and their families across the UK.
Funding is available for projects lasting two to three years that help families access support, improve wellbeing and resilience, and prepare for changes during service or the transition to civilian life. Projects must follow either an in-service support pathway or a moving-on-from-service pathway.
Key highlights:
• UK registered charities and CICs established for at least three years, local authorities and NHS organisations can apply.
• Beneficiaries must be Armed Forces families with care needs.
• Grants: £100,000–£200,000.
• Lived experience should help shape projects.
• Young carers are specifically encouraged.
Projects must deliver at least one outcome covering access to advice and services, reduced isolation and improved resilience, or improved skills and confidence among family carers. Applications close at 12 noon on 4 November 2026, with decisions expected by the end of February 2027.
