Veterans Places, Pathways and People Consultation Events
This programme will award 10 grants of up to £800,000 to portfolios of projects, which will work regionally to develop better, more joined up lasting support for local veterans with mental health needs.
Organisations are working on developing comprehensive portfolios of projects that will:
- give veterans safe, welcoming places to go in their local area
- support veterans to access mental health support and treatment pathways that meet their needs
- ensure that the people who support veterans (staff and particularly volunteers) can access good quality training and can have better access to connect veterans into wider pathways.
Organisations that are developing applications to this programme will be running consultation events. Details of these events can be found below.
We will continue to add details of events as we receive them. If there are no events currently listed for your Country or Region, then you may like to check back on this page at a later time.
*Please note that, even if the date of the event has passed, you can still use the contact details provided to contact the organisation and find out more information about the consultation event that took place and contribute to any other forms of consultation they are planning. We are keen that everyone has the chance to share their views and will keep all past events on this page for that reason.*
