Veterans' Mobility Fund: Register for Updates
After our successful campaign to reinstate the Veterans’ Mobility Fund, the Office for Veterans’ Affairs has today announced that Help for Heroes and BLESMA will be given the responsibility of administering the highly specialised programme, following our joint bid.
There are a few things we need to get in place before we can start administering the new grant funding. We will need to establish a robust programme and that will take some time to get right to ensure the Fund is implemented properly and within the guidelines set out by the Government.
Further details on how to apply to the Veterans’ Mobility Fund will be announced in due course, but we hope to welcome applicants in early 2024. Please register your interest here for updates.
By submitting this form you give us consent to contact you with udpates and news regarding the Veterans Mobility fund. If you already hear from us, or have asked to, this will not change by the submission of this form.
We will keep your details safe and in accordance with our privacy policy.
