Major new grants now available to fund specialist care for homeless veterans



  • Up to £8m of funding from the Office for Veterans’ Affairs is now available to tackle veterans’ homelessness head on.
  • Organisations are able to bid for up to £1.5 million, over 2 years, to provide wraparound support services for issues such as mental health.
  • Funding will address the complex issues faced by some homeless veterans while making sure they have access to accommodation.

The Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust (the Trust) is delighted to announce the launch of the Reducing Veteran Homelessness Programme, which will award major grants to help veterans experiencing homelessness.

Under this new programme, the Trust will award grants on behalf of the Office for Veterans’ Affairs (OVA) to projects that will provide specialist care in veterans’ accommodation.

The funding being announced today is expected to provide services for over 900 supported housing places across the UK, supporting veterans who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.

Organisations are able to bid for up to £1.5 million, over 2 years, to fund wraparound support for issues such as mental health and employment.

By providing specialised support services, we can help address the complex issues faced by some veterans while making sure they have access to accommodation, and give them a greater chance of leading a stable, healthy life so that they don’t return to being homeless in future.

Scotland: Edinburgh, East Renfrewshire and Highlands The Scottish Childminding Association recruitment campaign for specific remote and rural areas



SCMA is delighted to be embarking on another recruitment campaign with a fantastic package of fully funded support and training available to successful applicants, providing everything needed to establish a new childminding business from home. 

This follows on from the success of the ‘Scottish Rural Childminding Partnership’ established last year, where we sought to recruit, train and establish 100 new childminders in specific remote and rural areas of Scotland.

With a fantastic package of fully funded support and training available, you will have everything you need to get started on your childminding journey. You don’t need previous childcare experience or qualifications, but you do need to have a passion for working with children!
