Some members of the SSCE Cymru team attended Forces Children Scotland's reception at the Scottish Parliament Building.
Millie (Programme Manager), Jo (Participation Lead Officer) and Emilee (East Wales RSLO), joined by Vicky from the SCiP Alliance, headed to Edinburgh to attend the Forces Children Scotland's event at the Scottish Parliament Building where they got to hear about some of the great upcoming projects that the charity have going on, as well as see for the first time, their completed 'Forces Life' board game that was designed by young people from Armed Forces families in Scotland. It was great to hear about the concepts behind why they wanted to create the board game and also the process of actually making their ideas come to life.
It was a great opportunity for the SSCE Cymru team members to meet and talk to some of the young people who are heavily involved within the work that Forces Children Scotland do and to hear about their own personal experiences of being part of an Armed Forces family.
In addition to the event, Millie, Jo, Emilee and Vicky were able to meet up with Laura, the CEO of Forces Children Scotland and Carly, Policy Lead, to share some best practice around how their charity and SSCE Cymru work to support Service children and young people and our visions for further developing the support that we currently provide.
It was a really enjoyable experience to meet up with the Forces Children Scotland team and we look forward to continuing to link up and sharing the work that we do to support Service children.
