teamforces.orgAbout Team Forces Foundation
Team Forces Foundation supports the armed forces community through sport, challenge and adventure. The Foundation prioritises physical activity that serves a wider, greater purpose, particularly for veterans who are wounded, injured or sick, helping to rebuild lives. It funds across the UK, providing grants to individuals, community groups and registered charities connected to the military community. What makes Team Forces distinctive is its exclusive focus on the armed forces community, with a strong emphasis on activities that have a wider purpose beyond mere recreation.
What Team Forces Foundation funds
The Foundation funds projects that promote physical health, mental wellbeing, and disability inclusion through competitive sports, expeditions, recovery activities, and adaptive challenges. Causes supported include armed forces, sport and recreation, mental health, physical health, and disability. The trustees prioritise applications where the physical activity serves a wider, greater purpose, especially for veterans who are wounded, injured or sick, helping to rebuild lives. Grants are available UK-wide for activities connected to the military community.
Who can apply
Individuals and groups from the armed forces community can submit bids, including serving personnel, veterans, families, reserves, and cadets. Eligible organisation types include registered charities and community groups connected to the military community. The Foundation welcomes applications from those working with the armed forces community, with a particular focus on activities that have a wider purpose beyond recreation. The trustees prioritise applications where the physical activity helps to rebuild lives, particularly for veterans who are wounded, injured or sick.
What Team Forces Foundation doesn't fund
The Foundation generally does not fund Unit Adventure Training expeditions, as these fall outside its core focus on supporting veterans through physical activity with a wider purpose. Additionally, activities that are purely recreational without a greater purpose, such as those not aimed at helping wounded, injured or sick veterans rebuild their lives, are unlikely to be supported.
