It’s holiday season, so I hope you are enjoying a summer break, if you can.
The thought of holidaying in southern Europe seems daunting with the heatwaves and passport queues for British passport holders, but I am going to Spain and France soon.
Having served alongside troops from both countires in Bosnia, I will be looking out for military and, particularly, veteran activity as I travel.
The Veterans’ Foundation will be awarding another £1.5 million, or thereabouts, in early October; the deadline for grants has now passed, but for our next quarter of grant awards in December, the next deadline will be 23rd October.
From September we shall be using a new grant management system based on the Salesforce program, so the application and reporting journey for grantees should be more efficient and smooth.

We were delighted to hear that a number of Veterans’ Foundation grantees have successfully bid for, and received grants from, 'Op Fortitude'.
This is a Government initiative to end veterans’ homelessness and £8.55 million has been allocated to the likes of Stoll, Alabaré, Launchpad, Riverside and Healthier Heroes - all past or present grantees of the Veterans’ Foundation.

Thank you, again, for your tremendous support of the Veterans’ Foundation and the Veterans’ Lottery.

CEO & Founder, Veterans' Foundation
