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.
