The Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust receives £10 million each year from the Ministry of Defence to support the Armed Forces community with grant programmes.

Grants of up to £20,000 are awarded for projects that meet their guidance. The key priorities are that the project helps to integrate armed forces and civlian communities or will deliver valuable local services to the Armed Forces community.

Projects in Lanarkshire include:

• Who Dares Cares - walking groups, PTSD awareness, mental health first aid training, essential food and household supply hampers
