The Armistice and Armed Forces Communities Programme was agreed by the Covenant Reference Group (CRG) as a funding priority for Financial Year 2018-19 which sat under the theme to 'fund projects which support<\/em> measures to integrate military and civilian communities and allow the Armed Forces community to participate as citizens'. <\/em>The CRG set the overall priorities for funding, which the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust (AFCFT) deliver as programmes.<\/p> Under this programme, the AFCFT awarded silhouettes to over 2,700 community groups across the UK and these organisations were required to hold an event which brought together the military and civilian communities to recognise the significance of the Armed Forces community today.<\/p> There But Not There (encompassed in the charity 'Remembered') did not submit an application to the CRG nor to the AFCFT. They did not receive a grant under this programme; their primary role was to dispatch the silhouettes directly to our grant recipients.<\/p>"}
