The Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust (AFCFT) are delighted to announce the launch of Tackling Armed Forces Loneliness: An Evaluation of the Trust’s Tackling Loneliness Programme. This in-depth evaluation looks at the success of our Tackling Loneliness programme, including identification of best practices. It also explores loneliness and its effect of the Armed Forces community: https://covenantfund.org.uk/tacklingloneliness

Along with Neighbourly Lab, The King’s Centre for Military Health Research (KCMR), King's College London and Campaign to End Loneliness, AFCFT explore the impact of the Tackling Loneliness programme and the positive outcomes for harder to reach groups within the Forces community.

“The work done to tackle loneliness in Armed Forces communities has been impressive. We’ve seen great examples of services reaching out to under-represented groups, targeting specific problems such as the transition to civilian life and building networks through the strong sense of identity that people have through their connection to the Armed Forces. This is vital work helping people in sometimes very challenging situations.” Robin Hewings of the Campaign to End Loneliness.
