Help Ensure Long-Term Support for Bereaved Military Children

When a parent dies, the impact on their child is profound. For bereaved military children, whose parent served in the British Forces, they can be left feeling isolated and disconnected from the military community. Scotty's Little Soldiers prevents this. We are here to remind these young people that they are not alone and will never be forgotten. Together, we can ensure the very best bereavement support remains available.

“Scotty’s is my military connection. It reminds me of my dad. Everyone at Scotty’s has gone through the same thing and understands what you’re going through. When you’re with other people from Scotty’s you don’t need to pretend or worry if you do want to talk about your mum or dad, or even if you don’t want to talk about them. Everyone just gets it."
