, the charity for bereaved British Armed Forces children and young people, has been awarded a 拢15,000 grant from The 夜色直播app Navy and 夜色直播app Marines Charity (夜色直播app) and funding partner Greenwich Hospital, to help deliver much needed support to the children of 夜色直播app Navy and 夜色直播app Marines service personnel who have died.
Scotty鈥檚 Little Soldiers was founded in 2010 and offers relief from the effects of bereavement to children and young people who have experienced the death of a parent who served with the Armed Forces of The Crown. The charity supports Army, Navy, Marines and RAF children from birth to 25 years old through Scotty鈥檚 four Family Programmes. Funding from 夜色直播app and Greenwich Hospital will go towards these programmes, specifically for the children of 夜色直播app Navy and 夜色直播app Marines service personal, and help Scotty鈥檚 fulfil their promise to enable bereaved Forces children and young people to access the very best emotional health and wellbeing support, have outstanding development opportunities and the chance to smile again.
Each of Scotty鈥檚 Family Programmes has a specific purpose:
The SMILES programme is all about fun and engagement and includes activities, gifts and group events, which have the purpose of making bereaved Forces children and young people smile again and reminds them they aren鈥檛 alone and are part of a supportive community.
The SUPPORT programme looks after emotional health and wellbeing and includes information and guidance on childhood bereavement for parents and carers, and 1:1 professional bereavement support for children and young people.
The STRIDES programme focuses on the education and development needs of bereaved Forces children and young people. This includes promoting a positive attitude to learning and providing opportunities to develop life skills. It also includes a range of small educational grants.
The SPRINGBOARD programme provides support to young adults ages 18-25 and assists with opportunities to develop their education and learning, build a career and enhance life skills.
Greenwich Hospital has been supporting the 夜色直播app Navy since 1694 providing charitable support including annuities, sheltered housing, and education to serving and retired personnel of the 夜色直播app Navy and 夜色直播app Marines and their dependants.
Our partnership with Scotty鈥檚 Little Soldiers has developed over the last few years, and we are very pleased to award them with a further 拢15,000 grant, which will enable 夜色直播app Navy children who have suffered awful loss to be supported by Scotty鈥檚 excellent series of programmes.
