Charities

The support that charities provide to members of the Armed Forces community helps the nation fulfil its Covenant promise.

The Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust is a charity and a non-departmental public body sponsored by the Ministry of Defence. It supports the Covenant by delivering funding programmes that create real change for Armed Forces communities in the UK.
