COVID Bounceback Fund for the Armed Forces community!


The Trustees of the Team Army Sports Foundation, in association with Ultra Electronics Holdings plc (Ultra), are pleased to announce the creation of a COVID Bounceback fund for 2021/22. The fund has been created to help groups and communities recover from the effects of the COVID 19 pandemic.

Groups and organisations from the armed forces community are invited to submit bids to receive a grant from this special purpose fund. Specifically, the trustees wish to award grants to groups or organisations which create the opportunity to improve mental and physical wellbeing in armed forces personnel, including WIS veterans, through sport, challenge or adventure during 2021 or 2022.

WHAT EVENTS WILL QUALIFY FOR FUNDING?

Bids should be submitted for one-off events where the physical activity serves a wider, greater purpose. The activity should be challenging or adventurous and provide a highly rewarding developmental and transformative experience for those involved. For WIS veterans, the activity should help to rebuild lives by providing the inspirational goals that help them move beyond their disability, regain confidence and recapture their zest for life.

This is a rolling process and bids can be submitted to enquiries@teamarmy.org at any time throughout 2021.
