The
armed forces community covenant is a voluntary statement of mutual support
between a civilian community and its local armed forces community (including
veterans) - it encourages local communities to support the service community in
the area.
The
Portsmouth covenant makes groups in the city eligible to apply for funding from
the Ministry of Defence's community covenant grant scheme. The scheme is
designed to support projects at the local level, which strengthen the ties
between members of the Armed Forces Community and the wider community in which
they live.
For
full details of the funding please see the information via the following link:-http://www.portsmouth.gov.uk/yourcouncil/29433.html
A
number of organisations in the city have already been successful in securing
funding for their projects but we would like to see more. We are
arranging an event at HMS Nelson on Friday 28th March
9.00-12.00 to generate and support ideas for bids. So come
along and find out more from organisations that have been successful, find out
about the process, hear what will make a good bid and perhaps find partners to
work with.
For more
details or to reserve a place (booking is essential for this event) contact the
voluntary sector team on 02392 841451 or email voluntary.sector@portsmouthcc.gov.uk
