Hidden Voices Programme 2024-25

The Hidden Voices Programme awards grants of £3,000 to £25,000 for projects that enable accessible, bespoke mental health and wellbeing support for those with seldom heard needs in the armed forces community. The programme aims to support projects that address the unique mental health and wellbeing needs of marginalised groups focusing on prevention and early intervention. Projects are delivered over a period of up to 12 months and must meet two key outcomes: ensuring underrepresented groups within the armed forces community have equitable access to mental health and wellbeing support that meets their specific needs, and raising awareness of the needs of underrepresented groups among organisations supporting them through mutual learning and knowledge exchange. Successful applicants may also be invited to apply for supplementary funding during their project's delivery to support complementary initiatives that add value beyond the original project scope or offer opportunities to evaluate the project's impact.
