Training

Based on the content of the SSCE Cymru Toolkit, training sessions are now available for schools and other organisations in Wales.

Funding

Schools across Wales are being very proactive and doing some great work to ensure that their Service children are not disadvantaged due to the impact of being part of an Armed Forces family.

At SSCE Cymru, we are passionate about pupil voice and we always look to involve Service children in the activities we conduct and resources we produce. There are many ways that SSCE Cymru and educators in Wales benefit from Service children’s involvement.

Royal British Legion 100 competition WALES

For its 100th anniversary the Royal British Legion in Wales is holding a creative centenary competition, with the chance to have your work showcased at the Welsh Festival of Remembrance 2021 this November. We hope that this will be a great opportunity to get involved, learn more about The Royal British Legion and to make your mark in the Legion’s 100th year.

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."

"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."
