The Free From Fear programme, run by the Armed Forces Covenant, awards grants of between £100,000 and £250,000 to focus on addressing domestic abuse and strengthening responses for serving personnel, veterans, reservists and their families.
The programme is open to projects supporting serving personnel and their partners or children; veterans, reservists, and their families.
Projects must work to address one or more of the following main programme outcomes:
- Victim-survivors from armed forces communities have clear routes to access support, including the ability to recognise and report domestic abuse.
- Perpetrators of domestic abuse within armed forces communities recognise and are accountable for their harmful behaviour and engage with opportunities for meaningful change.
- Incidences of domestic abuse within armed forces communities are prevented through measures which address emerging and current challenges.
- Sustainable improvements and adaptations are made to service provision to meet the evolving support needs of victim-survivors from armed forces communities.
