Armed Forces Covenant Fund - Supporting Partners Programme

Summary

The Supporting Partners programme provides funding to projects that will improve support for Service partners and spouses regarding the skills and experiences they bring to the workplace. Projects should have a positive, lasting impact for partners of Serving Personnel or Reservists based in the UK or overseas.

Your project will need to show that it will improve access to support, and will celebrate the skills and experiences spouses and partners bring to the workplace.

Your project must meet one of the following aims.

  • Enable partners to access knowledge and information that’s relevant to employment opportunities.
  • Improve access to education, training, and qualifications for partners.
  • Communicate the skills and experiences that partners are able to bring to the workplace.

Project ideas should be hands on, impactful and targeted. You could explore ways of upskilling partners of Serving Personnel or Reservists through training, education and qualifications. Your projects might support partners to access paid employment, by finding ways to connect more partners to existing support.
