Oaklands Armed Forces Group (OAFG)
- Service Children often face challenges that go beyond the experience of families and children living in the UK
- A combination of the deployment of a family member, and regular home and school moves can cause anxiety and stress
- Education is disturbed and social networks disrupted
- General lack of awareness of Service children’s needs
We will offer:
- A single point of contact for service children and families
- Regular meet-ups
- Pastoral support
- Family summer event – Afternoon tea on the Sunken Lawn – made by the service children
- Trips and visits
- A quiet space during the school day so a service child can communicate with absent parent/carer when deployed
