Funding to Reduce the Challenges of Armed Service Life for Partners (UK)
Grants of between £10,000 and £70,000 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:
- Improved mental health and wellbeing of serving personnel’s partners, with consideration to modern family dynamics.
- Service providers and employers have greater awareness and understanding of the unique challenges faced by partners of serving personnel.
- Partners of serving personnel, including non-UK nationals, can access the support they need more easily.
- Partners feel they have increased their skills and confidence through additional opportunities to explore new ways of working and/or to 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 23 July 2025.
