Covenant Fund consultation 2023: How can we deliver the biggest impact for our Armed Forces communities?

Throughout June and July, that’s what we’ll be exploring through our Covenant Fund consultation; and we want you to get involved!

Read on for some useful information before you get started, or use the buttons below to go straight to the consultation.

What’s the consultation all about?

Since the Trust began in 2018, the Armed Forces Covenant Fund has been and remains a vital source of funding for our beneficiaries within the Armed Forces community. 

Until now, we have worked on an annual cycle of community analysis, programme development and ensuring the funding we award has a positive impact upon those in the Armed Forces community who need the most support.  

Moving forward, we’re delighted to now be able to look and plan further ahead. Conduct more in-depth community research to gain a better insight into the many and varied challenges within the Armed Forces community. Plan and develop funding programmes shaped around beneficiary need – whether that be longer-term support, quick, small injections of funding, or more space to develop and grow with the help of collaboration with other organisations. 

And this is where you come in…

The information we gather through our consultation will shape future funding programmes for the benefit of the Armed Forces community. Be that serving personnel, families, veterans, carers and more.

The more information we gather, the better the picture we can create and ensure we are getting it right for the next three years to come.
