To date the Government has invested £105 million in support of the Armed Forces Covenant much of which is benifiting or will benefit veterans across the UK. Veterans in the South West have benefited from a range of projects based either in the South West or operating UK wide worth in excess of £11.5 million. We expect further projects in the South West to benefit in the near future and in the long term when the new £10 million Armed Forces Covenant Fund is introduced in 2015.<\/p>
<\/p>
Projects in the South West are funded via the Community Covenant Grant Scheme and a £35 million LIBOR Fund.<\/p>

A list of successful projects to date can be found attached.<\/p>
