  • Deliver life-changing experiences to develop new skills, build confidence and forge new friendships.
  • Support children and young people to better understand and enhance their mental health and wellbeing.
  • Reduce isolation and loneliness through our youth forums and much more.
  • Help educators and professionals to better understand forces life and adapt practice to meet unique education support needs.

Residential reflections

Forces Children Scotland delivered a three-day creative documentary-making residential for young people in partnership with creative agency, Rebel Loop Studios.

Eight young people from armed forces families travelled from across Scotland to Glasgow to complete a series of workshops that introduced storyboarding, scripting, mobile phone and SLR camera recording techniques, and much more.

Once basics were grasped, the young people learned how to conduct one-to-one interviews, and then put everything they had learned into practice through fun-based group recording projects.

Having generated lots of fantastic content, the young people learned how to edit their footage into a professional final cut to create two fantastic short pieces about life in a forces family.

Hear from Josh and Izzy as they reflect on their experience.
