<p>Veterans have access to wide ranging support, wherever they live in the UK. In
addition to the large number of national initiatives delivered by this Government
in support of the Veterans’ Strategy, we recognise the hugely important role that
charities and local communities play, through initiatives such as Armed Forces and
veterans’ hubs.</p><p>The Government supports these projects through the Armed Forces
Covenant Fund Trust, which distributes funds of £10M per annum for projects that support
the Armed Forces community, including veterans. This year, the Government has provided
an additional £10M to the Trust to deliver projects supporting veterans’ mental health
needs. While eligibility varies depending on the programme, funding is often available
to both Local Authorities and charitable organisations.</p><p> </p>
