Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust launches first new Armed Forces Covenant Fund programme for 2024/25 - Serving Families: On the Move
The Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust (the Trust) has launched the first Covenant Fund programme under its exciting three-year Funding Framework.
Serving Families: On the Move is now open for applications for grants of up £120,000 for two-to-three-year projects that will improve the quality of life for Service families impacted by relocation as a direct result of Service life.
The Trust ran a public consultation in 2023, which identified that one of the key areas to focus on was ‘Reducing stress and challenges for Armed Forces families'. This family focused programme will address this aim by strengthening connections with local communities, leading to better support for those facing relocation as a direct result of Service. The consultation findings are available to read on The Trust website.

DCC school bus passes will be for the life of attendance at your school or college, subject to transport entitlement and so will not need to be re-issued every year. These passes contain an electronic chip. School vehicles are fitted with electronic chip readers that will allow passes to be checked and details of the journeys recorded.
If a bus pass is lost during the academic year you must obtain a temporary pass from your school office in order to continue using school transport until a replacement pass can be issued.

Catterick: SSAFA Volunteers needed!
SSAFA is looking for volunteers who are passionate about giving back to the Armed Forces community to join its new Serving Community Team at Catterick Garrison. Depending on your preferences and the role you choose, you may assist with fundraising, managing finances, or supporting marketing efforts.
Volunteers can give as much or as little time as they can – the roles are designed to be flexible, as we understand many of our volunteers also have work or family commitments. No experience is necessary for most positions, but a military connection or an understanding of the unique challenges that service personnel and their families face would be excellent.
Volunteering with the SCT at Catterick Garrison is a fantastic way to give back to those who have given so much, and your time can make a world of difference in the lives of our Armed
Forces service personnel and their families. To find out more about volunteering opportunities, please email sct.interest@ssafa.org.uk or Robert.law@sct.ssafa.org.uk
