Children and young people from armed forces and veteran families can experience a unique life that is very different to that of their civilian peers.
Forces Children Scotland supports children and young people from armed forces and veteran families to reach their potential and thrive – from supporting their education and mental health to much more.
Children and young people from armed forces and veteran families can experience a unique life that is very different to that of their civilian peers. Month of the Military Child (MotMC) provides an opportunity to celebrate this unique identity, ensuring this community feel heard, are seen, and that their lives are better understood.
Recognising that the armed forces community is diverse, MotMC uses the colour purple, which represents each branch of the military – Army, Navy and Air Force. MotMC also represents children from serving, reservist and veteran families.
