The future of funding for the armed forces community is being shaped now – So don’t just watch strategy happen, get in the Lab!

The Collaboration Lab is a space to explore ideas, look at the evidence, talk about what’s working, and be honest about where support still falls short. What we hear through the Lab will help shape the grants we make from April 2027 to March 2030.

Whether you’re part of the armed forces community, support armed forces people through your work, or see the challenges the armed forces community faces up close in your local area – there’s a way for you to get involved.

Come and have a look. You might find exactly the conversation you’ve been hoping someone would start!
