We are delighted that £3 million has been awarded to ABF The Soldiers’ Charity by the Treasury from the LIBOR Banking fines to help improve childcare and community centre facilities for Army families. This will be taken forward in partnership with the Army and will do so much to support those families, whose well-being is of vital importance.
This was just part of the £102 million funding in LIBOR Grants for Armed Forces and Emergency Services charities allocated in this Autumn statement, which demonstrates this Government’s recognition of the work undertaken by the Service charity sector.
We are very pleased that so many of the partner charities which we fund have also received these grants.
