Themes and Priorities
We want to fund enjoyable and engaging projects that encourage social interaction between people from Armed Forces communities. Importantly, your project should be able to take place while restrictions relating to the pandemic are ongoing.
Deadline and Guidance
The deadline to apply is noon on 30 June 2020.
You’ll receive a decision on your application by the end of August and we’ll need you to have started your project by mid-October.
Each of our funding programmes has its own specific guidance. It is important you read the programme guidance before you apply as it contains vital information to support you with your application and outlines the full programme priorities and eligibility criteria.
