This funding stream will award grants to enable access to appropriate mental health and wellbeing support for specific underrepresented groups within the armed forces community through tailored interventions that respond to identified barriers, needs and experiences.
Reveal & Respond has two funding strands. You should choose the strand that best reflects the stage of development, evidence base and intended scale of your project. Read the programme guidance for full details before choosing your funding route.
Under Strand 1 – discovery, pilot and learn grants: grants of between £20,000 and £40,000 towards a pilot project being delivered for two years that will help organisations understand barriers, test approaches and develop tailored support for underrepresented groups within the armed forces community.
Under Strand 2 – scale and strengthen grants: larger grants of between £150,000 and £300,000 towards a project being delivered for between two to three years, which builds on approaches that have already been tested or developed and are ready to be scaled, embedded, replicated or strengthened.
Organisations may submit more than one application, as long as each application is for a clearly different project and the projects do not overlap.
They invite applications from:
- UK based registered charities
- Community interest Companies (CICs)
- Local authorities
They are particularly keen to hear from projects supporting specific cohorts as identified through their Evidence and Gaps Map Summary. There is more information on these groups in the programme guidance.
Your project must contribute to the following two outcomes in a way that is proportionate to the funding strand you apply to:
- Underrepresented groups in the armed forces community are more able to access mental health and wellbeing support, because the project has removed or responded to previously unmet need.
- Learning and understanding of the barriers, needs and experiences of underrepresented groups within the armed forces community is increased, shared and applied to improve support, practice and collaboration.
