Purple was chosen because it symbolizes all branches of the military, a combination of Army Green, Air Force Blue, Coast Guard Blue, Marine Red and Navy Blue.
SSCE Cymru would like to encourage education settings to carry out activities during this month to celebrate and raise awareness of the unique experiences this group of children and young people have and become a more Armed Forces-friendly environment.
Wednesday 30th of April is the day to 'Purple up' for Month of the Military Child in Wales!
How can you get involved?
- Wear purple (consider raising money for an Armed Forces charity)
- Create purple artwork and displays
- Take photos of what you get up to
- Share your photo/s on social media (tag @SSCECyrmu on X and Facebook) using the hashtag #MotMCCymru – with a message to Service children, thanking them for their important role in the Armed Forces community
- Send your photos to SSCECymru@wlga.gov.uk
See the SSCE Cymru events page for details of events taking place in April, as part of Month of the Military Child.
