Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, which organisations working with veterans in the South West have received money under the Armed Forces Covenant Fund to date.

To date the Government has invested £105 million in support of the Armed Forces Covenant much of which is benifiting or will benefit veterans across the UK. Veterans in the South West have benefited from a range of projects based either in the South West or operating UK wide worth in excess of £11.5 million. We expect further projects in the South West to benefit in the near future and in the long term when the new £10 million Armed Forces Covenant Fund is introduced in 2015.

Projects in the South West are funded via the Community Covenant Grant Scheme and a £35 million LIBOR Fund.

A list of successful projects to date can be found attached.
