Sustaining Support to Armed Forces Communities programme

The Trust awarded grants of up to £100,000 under the Sustaining Support for Armed Forces Communities programme, for existing charitable projects to help charities to sustain activities and services that people from Armed Forces communities use and value – particularly where there have been additional difficulties as a result of the Covid pandemic.

The programme had two funding tracks. The first was project based, designed to support the costs of existing, well-used activities. The second track, for Armed Forces charities only, supported core costs, enabling these organisations to keep delivering their vital services.

Erskine were awarded £99,959 from the project funding track, for their ‘social support for vulnerable veterans’ project which allowed them to continue running their Activities Centre, which provides support and social engagement to over 120 vulnerable veterans.
