Grantham: Connect to Support Lincolnshire - Armed Forces Community Directory

Following extensive research this directory was co-produced with input from service families, HIVE’s and veterans’ associations. It was without exception that people wanted a directory where they could find not only national information, but regional and local information where they could seek help, support and advice.

This effective directory which lists a wide range of national, regional and local organisations providing support and advice to the Lincolnshire Armed Forces Community. It should not be taken as an exhaustive list of all services on offer across the UK. lincolnshire.connecttosupport.org/armed-forces-community-directory/

The final phase of the Wraparound Childcare (WAC) Scheme is completed and applications can now be made for providing a reimbursement for the costs of before and after school childcare in overseas locations where WAC eligibility criteria cannot be met due to local rules and regulations or because Tax-Free Childcare (TFC) accounts are not available. 

The launch of the PSACO Allowance means eligible Service families will have access to before and after school childcare funding in all overseas locations. 

PSACO eligibility criteria and guidance can be found on the Discover My Benefits website from January 2026.
