We invite individuals, organisations, schools and groups to participate in Month of the Military Child this year through 3 key activities:
1: For the 3rd year running, we are holding a poetry and art competition, with the theme:
Life As a Dandelion. The competition is open to young people 6-18 and begins 1 April and entries must be received by 3 May. Winners announced 27 May and winners will be invited to London in June to receive their certificates and a special day out. Each winner will also receive a £25 Amazon Gift Voucher and a goodie bag! One lucky school will also receive a £250 Book Grant. Cash prizes were very kindly donated by the Armed Forces Education Trust!
2: Sing Dandelions! Our Voices of Armed Forces Children Choir wrote a song entitled 'Dandelions', which is the symbol of military children. Sheet music, lyric sheet and backing tracks are available.
3: Wear PURPLE on 26 April! A very simple way to show support for your military children is to wear purple, the colour which symbolises them.
