Armed Forces Covenant Fund grant.

March 17, 2023

We are proud to be SWV’s delivery partner for this Transformational Funding project – can’t wait to get started!

Supporting Wounded Veterans is delighted to have been awarded a £288,000 grant from the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust. SWV, working with HighGround, will develop new forms of support for veterans under 30 who have left the Armed Forces within the last five years and are experiencing additional challenges which could lead to long term negative outcomes. They will look to develop a mentoring, outdoor-focused approach which will lead these young veterans into land-based employment complementing other forms of support on offer, particularly in the transition and post-transition space. The first part of the delivery of this complex project will include detailed scoping and engagement work. Veterans will help to shape aspects of the project using their lived experiences.
