Funding to Support Women in the Armed Forces
The Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust is offering funding to support projects addressing the specific challenges faced by serving women in the UK Armed Forces.
The Service Women: Seen & Heard programme provides funding for one- or two-year projects designed to tackle the underlying issues unique to serving women, including reservists.
The following grants are available:
- £25,000 to £50,000 for one-year projects
- £25,000 to £100,000 for two-year projects
Projects need to meet one of the following outcomes:
- Enabling Service women to choose activities and/or find advice that improves their physical health and wellbeing, either preventatively or at times of crisis
- Opening up choices for Service women who may not otherwise know where to seek help for issues which specifically affect them
In addition, projects must meet at least one of the programme themes:
- Work-life balance, enjoying and achieving
- Mental and physical health and wellbeing
- Support for marginalised and minority women
Applications are invited from:
- Charities
- Community Interest Companies
- Armed Forces Units
In exceptional cases, an enhanced grant of up to £50,000 to deliver an additional element can be requested for projects of up to two years duration. One-year projects are not eligible for an enhanced grant.
The deadline for applications is 12pm on the 25th September 2024.
