The Trust ran a consultation from June to July 2023, whereby members of the Armed Forces community could feed into and help shape the Trust's 3-year Covenant Funding Framework. As a result of this, the Armed Forces bereaved community came through as a cohort, with specific needs. Consequently, the Trust's 3-year Covenant Funding Framework has built in the capability to create a programme designed to meet the needs of the Armed Forces bereaved community. The programme will be valued at approximately £2m, with a view to awarding the first grants in the 2025/26 financial year. This research will help to form the foundation of that programme design.
