Summary
The Trust want to support projects that create opportunities for increased integration by building stronger community links and improving access to existing services for newly arrived or relocated service families only.
Your project will need to contribute towards at least one of these outcomes:
Families in a new posting have more accessible and sustainable information to support them to settle into a new and unfamiliar location.
Newly arrived families report improved wellbeing by being introduced to and connected with activities provided in their new area.
Fewer newly arrived and relocated service families report feeling isolated or lonely and more service families say they have effective support networks.
Families feel more able to navigate the challenges of relocation, because their relationships are stronger.
Eligibility
Applications invited from:
Registered charities
Community Interest Companies (CICs)
Local authorities
