We’re sorry to say that we have temporarily suspended our grant-giving activities and, therefore, cannot receive further applications at the moment.
We understand the many challenges families are facing right now, and we sincerely apologise for any distress, and disappointment this notice might serve to cause.
This measure is temporary and we look forward to getting back to supporting armed forces and veteran families across Scotland as soon as possible.
Please contact admin@forceschildrenscotland.org.uk and we’ll make sure that you are notified as soon as our grant-giving activities reconvene.
We work in partnership with SSAFA: The Armed Forces Charity, to deliver our family support services. Please visit their website to explore a series of alternative funds currently open for applications.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
