Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust: New Awards under the Serving Families On the Move programme

New funding will help families settle faster after a posting - with welcome support, connections, and tools for children.

Moving house is hard. Doing it because of service life requirements - again and again - can be harder still.

That’s why the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust has funded 11 new projects through the Serving Families: On the Move programme, helping families feel welcomed, informed and connected in the early weeks after a move.

Over £460,000 will help families settle with confidence - building on more than £1.5 million already funded through the programme.

Three ways this funding help

1. Offer a warm welcome early on through practical guidance, local information and tailored support.

2. Reduce loneliness and isolation through home visits, workshops, group activities and trained volunteers (many with military backgrounds).

3. Help children and young people keep continuity with digital tools that help families discover activities and prepare for moves.

Anna Wright, Chief Executive of the Trust, said:

“It’s important that military families feel valued, connected and supported wherever service life takes them. I remember my own experiences as a military family of relocating to a new area and anything that makes you feel welcome and settled more quickly is so important.”

Find out more.

Full list of all projects funded under the Serving Families: On the Move programme are available on the Trust’s website here.
