Research into the needs of the bereaved Armed Forces community
When we asked the Armed Forces community about where there are gaps in current support – to help us design our three-year Covenant Fund framework – the needs of bereaved military families were a big theme. We commissioned Alma Economics to help us understand those needs in more detail. Their findings have informed a grant programme to help bring about much-needed systemic change, with improvement and expansion of the support available.
Their research explores the needs, experiences, and priorities of the bereaved Armed Forces community, and maps the scope of support currently available.
The report is available to read and download below.
Please note: this report discusses experiences of bereavement by suicide.
