Armed Forces Covenant Fund
The Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust (the Trust) supports the Armed Forces Covenant by delivering funding programmes that create real change to Armed Forces communities across the UK. We are a charity and are classified as a Non-Departmental Public Body, or NDPB. We look after the Armed Forces Covenant Fund, worth £10M each year.
The Armed Forces Covenant Fund has four broad funding themes now and in future years:
- Non-core healthcare services for veterans
- Removing barriers to family life
- Extra support, both in and after Service, for those that need help
- Measures to integrate military and civilian communities and allow the Armed Forces community to participate as citizens
We also work with HM Government to run other funding programmes that have a positive impact on Armed Forces communities. Full details of our work and funding opportunities can be found at www.covenantfund.org.uk
The Hive
HIVE Portsmouth works with local people, groups and organisations in a way that recognises and nurtures the strengths of individuals, families and communities and helps to build independence and self-reliance as an alternative to a dependence on traditional services.
They connect people and organisations to share, support and learn in order to meet the needs of individuals and are committed to working together with the objective of building a happier, healthier and more connected city.
Fundamental to this growing mandate is the increasing recognition that voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are valuable strategic partners in developing and offering a trusted resource.
