The Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust grant award
Eleanor Pullen • Mar 22, 2021
We are delighted to have received a grant from the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust. We have been awarded £70,000 to use over two years as part of their Tackling Loneliness Programme. This grant will support a Research and Recruitment project which will provide the opportunity for us to ensure that women from across the breadth of the military community, including harder-to-reach groups, are able to access the wellbeing our choirs provide and come together to sing, share and support one another.
We are very much looking forward to seeing how the project progresses and thank the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust for their continued support.
Our Chair of Trustees, Caroline Paxton, has written an article for The Naval Review about the Military Wives Choirs and what we offer to women across the military community: 'Understanding women impacted by their military connection'. 
Thanks to funding, the Military Wives Choirs is delighted to announce a new commission and invites applications from composers across the musical landscape.
