The Armed Forces Family Fund
The Armed Forces Family Fund
The Armed Forces Families Fund (AF3) was launched by the MOD in 2022 to provide targeted support to the families of serving personnel, reflecting the aims of the UK Armed Forces Families Strategy (2022–2032). AF3 is made up of three dedicated programmes:
Access to childcare and early years support
Education for service children Employment
Wellbeing for partners.
We administer the Fund on MOD’s behalf and in 2024/25, awarded over £2.8 million supporting Armed Forces families across the UK and overseas.
