A unique education support programme benefiting young people from armed forces families across Scotland has been boosted with a £10k donation from ABF The Soldiers’ Charity.
Scotland’s Armed Forces children’s charity, RCET, works directly with young people from armed forces families and provides education support, including resources and training, to teachers and other professionals to help them recognise and deal with the anxieties, challenges and learning obstacles that some experience while at school.
RCET Education Programme Manager, Moira Leslie explains “We want every child from an Armed Forces family to reach their full potential. This isn’t always achievable if they are moving between different education systems and their learning is interrupted, or if they are anxious about a parent who is away from home on active service.
