More filming days with CLECS Media

May 2024

Towards the end of May, the SSCE Cymru team were visiting some of our Armed Forces Friendly schools across East, West and South Wales to complete our filming days with CLECS Media. 

Millie, the Programme Manager, Yazz, School Liaison Officer and Jo, the Participation Lead Officer were able to join John and Steph from CLECS Media to complete the last few days of filming on location at various schools across Wales. A BIG diolch/thank you to all our participating Service children/young people and school staff who gave up their time to share their stories with us. We truly value your contributions to this project and hope that you enjoyed the time we spent capturing the content. You are all amazing and we appreciated your efforts. We look forward to seeing the finished results soon.

Ashim

"In my eyes, you have hundreds of friends in different places."

Chloe

"I’m used to moving now and mixing with the children... I’ve done it so many times, it’s just a normal thing now."

"It's ok talking over skype and that, but sometimes you just want a hug when Dad is away."

"I’ve enjoyed going around to lots of places around the world, it's adventurous and exciting."

Harry

"In my eyes, you have hundreds of friends in different places."

Ieuan

"My mum got a chalk board and it says how many sleeps on it with chalk, every minute it’s getting closer for him coming home."

"I don’t want him to get promoted... I want him to get promoted but I don’t want to leave."

Oliver

Shana

"He has been away for six months and he is back for two weeks, then he goes away again."

Sianed

"My parents were in the Army. My mum is a like a nurse and my dad went to the war in Afghanistan. I actually didn’t really know what he was doing so I was like, ‘Cool Dad, go there,’ but then I found out and thought, 'Thank God he came back alive.'"

Sanjog

"He signed off last week, so he will be done by the end of this year. He’s done 24 years. I find that better because he will be around a lot. He likes watching us playing rugby, so he will get to see us more."

"I’m going to a new place entirely. They don’t know anything about me and that’s a big restart and that’s really good for me."

Piaras

"I moved to Wales because my dad was posted in the Army. I thought I would get bullied and I was shy when you meet new people, but I made some friends."
