Under this programme the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust will award grants of between £5,000 and £80,000 on behalf of the MOD’s Armed Forces Families Fund Early Years Programme, towards projects lasting up to two years, which help enhance early childhood education and childcare settings to meet specific needs of young children from armed forces families.
Applications are invited from:
- Early childhood education and childcare providers operating where armed forces families live or work – at least 50% of service children on roll.
- Local authorities who wish to supply specific training to early childhood education and childcare providers supporting service children aged 0-5 years and provide a shared resource working across multiple settings.
If your setting has less than 50% service children on roll, you could still apply as a cluster.
The deadline for applications is 12 noon on 4 June 2025.
