Armed Forces Day Grant

Deadline 31st March 2023

Funding is available to help organisations and individuals in the UK to host an Armed Forces Day event which can take place within two weeks of the Armed Forces Day event. A maximum grant of £10,000 is available per application, provided that MOD funding accounts for no more than 50% of the total cost. This could go towards:

  • Picnic in the park
  • Themed BBQ
  • Knees up in your living room
  • Street party
  • Fête

Try to hold your event on, or in the weeks around, the last week of June. Finding the right location is key. Have a look at how many people are likely to attend and make sure your venue is big enough to hold them all. Smaller events could take place in town halls, public buildings, schools, churches and community centres. Events in city centres attract people who are there anyway; less central events may require more advertising and marketing.
