Brand-new funding from Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust.

? New Funding Opportunity: Supporting Partners Programme Now Open

We’re excited to share news of a brand-new funding opportunity that’s just been launched — the Supporting Partners Programme from the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust.

This programme is all about recognising and strengthening the role of partners of serving personnel. Whether it's boosting access to support, promoting wellbeing, or opening up new career opportunities, this fund aims to make a real difference.

? What’s the focus?

The Supporting Partners Programme will fund projects that help achieve one or more of the following outcomes:

• Better mental health and wellbeing for serving personnel’s partners, including support for modern family dynamics.
• Improved understanding among employers and service providers about the unique challenges military partners face.
• Easier access to support services, especially for those who are non-UK nationals or face additional barriers.
• Opportunities to grow skills and confidence, explore new ways of working, or even change careers.

? What’s available?

Organisations can apply for grants ranging from £10,000 to £70,000 for projects lasting one to two years.

?️ Key date to remember:

Applications close at 12 noon on Wednesday 23 July 2025.

If your organisation works with military families or has an idea that could make a difference, this is a fantastic opportunity to get support.
