Grant News

Grants of between £10,000 and £60,000 are available for projects that find ways to reduce the challenges of service life for partners of serving armed forces personnel, including reservists.

The Supporting Partners Programme, funded by the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust on behalf of the Ministry of Defence, aims to improve the support available for service partners and spouses.

Projects should look to address one or more of the following outcomes:

• Improve the mental health and wellbeing of spouses and partners of serving personnel
• Raise awareness, including (potential) employers, of the unique challenges spouses and partners can face, and improve access to provision to help overcome these challenges
• Identify and address known and emerging gaps in provision for spouses and partners of serving personnel, including spouses and partners who are non-UK nationals
• Provide opportunities for spouses and partners to explore new ways of working, upskill and/or change careers

Applications are accepted from Armed Forces units or bases, charities, community interest companies and universities or colleges in the UK.

The deadline for applications is 12pm on the 8th January 2025.
