Highlights from Amanda’s interview with Anna Wright, our CEO, reflecting on the Covenant Fund’s first decade of work.
In ten short years, the Armed Forces Covenant Fund has distributed over £100 million through 4,000 grants, reaching every nation and region of the UK.
As the Covenant Fund enters its second decade, our advice would be to lean into its
unique position as a trusted bridge between the Armed Forces community, the NHS,
and the third sector.
Growing up as a service child in the UK to me meant living a life shaped by separation, but also meant resilience and quiet strength.
As someone who has spent years researching military-connected children and young people, and working alongside Covenant Fund-backed programmes, I’ve developed both ground-level intimacy and strategic distance with this work.
