Month of the Military Child

April is the Month of the Military Child. ‘Taking Care of Our Military Children’ is the theme of this year's campaign. It is an opportunity to celebrate children, young people, and families from the Armed Forces community.

Throughout April, we will be sharing information and highlighting resources and initiatives to support children from an Armed Forces background. Find out how to get involved in the Month of the Military Child below.

'Purple up' for the Month of the Military Child on Friday 28 April 2023

  • Wear purple to work on Friday 28th April
  • Take a photo of yourself (or with your colleagues) wearing purple in the office (or at your home)
  • Send your photos to SSCECymru@wlga.gov.uk
  • Post your photo/s on social media (tag @SSCECyrmu on Twitter and Facebook) using the hashtag #MotMCCymru – with a message to Service children, thanking them for their important role in the Armed Forces community

Purple was chosen because it symbolizes all branches of the military, a combination of Army Green, Air Force Blue, Coast Guard Blue, Marine Red and Navy Blue.
