Amount awarded

£ 0

In September 2023 the Trust made a single award of £2.52 million to Help for Heroes.

Working in partnership with Blesma, Help For Heroes will support veterans with physical disabilities with their mobility needs via an externally delegated grant scheme. The Fund will remain open and support veterans across five years.

The Trust made a continuation award of £750,000 in September 2025, under the Armed Forces Covenant Fund, to Help for Heroes.

In September 2025, a top-up grant of £79,116 was also awarded under the Veterans’ Mobility Fund, to Help for Heroes. This was in line with an initial agreement that any difference in the contracted price of the programme evaluation work, against the budget, would be awarded as a top-up grant to the grant holder, for the onward award of additional mobility equipment.

This was a highly specialised programme making a single grant to a Lead Organisation who would then make onward grants to veterans with physical disabilities via an externally delegated grant scheme.

The overall aim of this programme is that veterans should be able to access high quality support ensuring that the proposed mobility equipment solution for the veteran meets their needs and enables them to engage in activities that are important to them.
