The Ministry of Defence supports the work of the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust in delivering the Veterans' Places, Pathways and People (VPPP) programme, which is funded through the Veterans' Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund.

To date, the VPPP programme has awarded £9 million to 14 major projects. This programme supports projects to encourage the development of safe, welcoming places for veterans to go in their local area, support for staff and volunteers in organisations that support veterans to access good quality training, and to connect veterans into wider pathways, including for mental health support and treatment.
