Armed Forces Covenant Fund: Force for Change programme funds projects which make a real difference to Armed Forces communities locally with one year grants of up to £15,000. The fund will support projects that offer support to Armed Forces communities to help with needs that may not have been addressed in the past. This can also include funding for pilot projects; or to try new ways of offering local support. It can also include projects that build on earlier work that you have done.
