This question was answered on 7th December 2020
MOD officials and I have regular discussions with the Service charities on a range of subjects including support for veterans. This Government has been proactive in providing support to the charity sector in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The MOD and the OVA provided £6million in funding for the Armed Forces community, through the COVID Impact Fund, working in partnership with Service charities to deliver support for the most vulnerable. Over 100 Service charities benefited from this funding.
