April marks the beginning of Month of the Military Child and is a designated time to celebrate and raise awareness of the unique experiences of children whose parents serve in the Armed Forces.
We understand that serving parents and their children go through numerous challenges, and also sacrifice a lot, so we work hard with a variety of organisations which are devoted to providing support to Naval children.
