Little Troopers: Fully Funded Football Adventure Days - Liverpool, Bournemouth, Norwich, Lincoln & Bromley LAST CHANCE TO BOOK

 tle Troopers are delighted to be bringing back their All Together Adventure Days for Summer 2026, thanks to the generous support of their sponsor Telent.

Designed especially for military children, these fully funded days out help children create lasting memories during the school holidays while having fun with others who understand the unique experiences of military life.

 

This year, Adventure Days will be football-themed, delivered in partnership with football club foundations across the country. As well as developing confidence and enjoying exciting activities, children will have the opportunity to meet others who share similar experiences of Armed Forces life.

 

For some military children, the school holidays can feel very different when a parent is deployed, away on exercise or working long periods away from home. These special events aim to bring families together, build friendships and create positive memories during times of separation.

 

Is your Little Trooper experiencing separation from a parent this summer?
If your child has a parent currently away from home due to military service, you can apply for one of the exclusive All Together Football Adventure Days.

A nationwide shared experience
Across the week of 24th–28th August 2026, military children will come together at football clubs across the UK for a special day of fun, connection and shared experiences.

Scotland: Forces Children Scotland child friendly emotional cycle of deployment

Work started earlier this year with children and young people to co-create a child-friendly emotional cycle of deployment resource to explain the emotional cycle of deployment.

The children and young people have developed the visual of a rollercoaster to help explain their experiences of the different stages of the cycle.

The Deployment Rollercoaster can be accessed here:
https://forceschildrenscotland.org.uk/the-deployment-rollercoaster/

The Deployment Rollercoaster allows children, young people and adults to see that all emotions are valid and it ok to feel different emotions throughout the deployment cycle. The rollercoaster is supported by accessible resources for children, young people and parents to help support their child’s mental health and wellbeing at each stage of the ride.

We invite you to explore this online resource and let us know your thoughts and would welcome an opportunity to meet with you to talk or discuss opportunities to promote the use of this resource in your setting.
