At the Naval Children’s Charity, we believe that Naval children should be proud of their family’s service, and that an affiliation with the military should be a positive and enhancing experience. 

April is Month of the Military Child. This Ministry of Defence initiative looks to raise awareness of the hardships faced by service children, but also celebrates the benefits too.

There are so many wonderful ideas that schools, parents and other charities are undertaking to celebrate. 

From special assemblies to art competitions, breakfast events to inviting service parents into classrooms, the creativity shown by our community is always a pleasure to see. 

It’s really easy to get involved. Follow the #MotMC hashtag on social media to see how others are celebrating. Also, keep an eye out for an announcement for our own special #MotMC competition. 

This sense of pride we want to instil in our Naval children must be based on a foundation of self-confidence and resilience. 

Copies of Wisdom While You Work, an interactive notebook that helps older children and young people (10-25 years old) learn lifelong values and skills, are still available. 

Email [email protected] with the code WWYW, and the service number of their Naval parent or guardian, to receive a free copy. 

Best wishes,
