We take care of the little tasks so your fundraising can make a huge difference

Whether it’s a sponsored run, walk, cycle, or anything else in between, we’re here to help support your challenge fundraising experience in support of Forces Children Scotland.

Take on a challenge event for added motivation to achieve a fitness goal, to raise money in memory of someone, or to get together to create memories with friends and family.

From taking on the more well-known events to organising a personalised, bespoke fundraising challenge, we support every step of your fundraising journey.

 

We will help with everything

From providing help with event registration and sorting out your free t-shirt and eater bottle, to getting started on Just Giving and promoting your fundraising on social media.

Get in touch to get started! Let’s work together as a force for good in support of children and young people from armed forces communities.

 

Supporting children and young people from armed forces and veteran families

From mental health and wellbeing services, youth forums, and residential experiences to standing up for children's rights, helping others to understand forces life, providing financial support, and much more.

Our charity was founded just four days before the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. Today, we deliver a broad range of work to support over 13,000 children and young people from armed forces communities. As a strengths-based and children's rights-focused organisation, we are committed to working directly with this community, and wider partners to co-produce our projects, services, and campaigns to celebrate the positives and overcome many unique challenges associated with forces life. 

We strive to achieve our vision of making Scotland a place where all children & young people from armed forces communities can feel heard, understood, and empowered to overcome unique challenges. We want them to dream big and pursue positive futures. 

 

We work with this community to co-produce projects, services, and campaigns

Co-producing our projects, services, and campaigns promotes human rights and proves highly effective in fostering a sense of ownership, empowerment, and confidence amongst children and young people. 

By getting involved, children and young people feel listened to and know their contributions are valued to deliver innovative, relevant, tailored, and effective outputs to meet unique support needs. Moreover, they have told us that it has helped them develop a stronger affinity with our charity and valuable transferrable skills, including problem-solving, decision-making, and teamwork that have strengthened future opportunities through personal statements and CVs.
