New Awards Made under The Armed Forces Covenant Fund: Hidden Voices Programme.


Major Boost: The Hidden Voices Programme awards almost £600K in 26 New Grants

For generations, many within the armed forces community have carried burdens few could see and even fewer fully understood. LGBT+ veterans, foreign and commonwealth personnel, survivors of military sexual violence, and older veterans in care homes have faced challenges that too often went unspoken.

Their stories were whispered in quiet rooms, softened or silenced beneath the louder narrative of service and sacrifice.

But today, those voices are rising.

In the latest round of the Hidden Voices programme, The Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust (the Trust) have awarded nearly £600,000 to 26 projects dedicated to changing that narrative for good.

Across every corner of the UK, remarkable organisations are stepping forward with compassion, courage, and innovation - ensuring that no one who has served is left without support, understanding, or community.

From trauma-informed courses that help veterans rebuild after difficult experiences, to weekly fitness and wellbeing sessions tailored for female veterans; from amplifying the voices of children affected by domestic abuse to early intervention programmes addressing loneliness among older veterans in care - these projects are paving the way toward a more inclusive and supportive future for all who have served.
