Helping Our Local Children
Life for our youth can be complex and more challenging now than ever.
As a community and especially as parents we want to give our children the best experiences and skills possible to support for the greatest start in life.
To support our local community we are inviting our local children to a 2 day event (Saturday and Sunday) to equip them with some vital skills to help them build their mental resilience to support them to navigate life.
Supporting veteran families
We understand that many members and veterans families experience the additional stress of being part of a family impacted by a parents defence service and the challenges this brings to the family unit. There are studies from previous conflicts about the impact this can create, particularly on our youth. Our commitment is to support you to make this as easy as possible.

The team have had great success running these events over many years and have created a great supportive community to help young people grow and develop their potential.
