Thrive Together is the name for the second phase of the Veterans People, Places and Pathways programme (VPPP). Over a 3-year period from 2024-2027, Thrive Together aims to build sustainable and resilient networks to ensure veterans receive prompt, effective and tailored support. Whereas VPPP was fully focused on veterans, this new phase of the programme will also include support to families.

We awarded grants to 10 organisations for the delivery of the Thrive Together programme, split across 2 funding phases. You can view details of the awards below. You can also find out more about the Thrive Together regional portfolios here.

The Thrive Together programme aims to:

  • Empower veterans and families – providing a nationwide network offering seamless physical and mental health support.
  • Create connections – enhancing veterans wellbeing through sustainable support networks and community integration with a focus on collaboration for long-term impact.
  • Build futures – build lasting partnerships and sustainable veteran services for a stronger future.

For veterans and their families, this will create an evolving nationwide network of physical and mental health support. Military charities and other organisations will work together to ensure there are easy-to-access and joined-up pathways both into and out of services both statutory and non statutory.

For organisations, the programme will foster a strong focus on collaboration and long-term impact further emphasising sustainability and enduring legacy. By promoting strategic and cooperative endeavours, Thrive Together will establish more robust and interconnected support systems, driving future sustainability.
