Thanks to ROCKWOOL UK for supporting this fantastic initiative to improve the Health and well-being of our future generations.

Our Forces Fitness team had a great day working with children from Llanfair Primary School amongst the cohort were 17 service children, we delivered a special Health and well-being talk and a structured initiative designed to strengthen engagement, improve well-being, and build resilience among Service children and their families. The session was supported by school staff SSCE Cymru and the Veterans' Foundation '

We have had some Fantastic feedback so far:

✅ 100% Enjoyed
✅ 100% would like to do similar activities again
✅ 100% said the session had a positive effect on their Health and well-being

"It really enjoyed the sessions the instructor was great"

"I loved it, I learned to trust people!"

"Can we do longer"

"Everything was perfect every last bit"

All service children attendees received workbooks on how to lead a happy healthy life by staying fit and active. Well done to the three Service children Leaders who received branded tops and leadership certificates, Harry, Eden and Charlotte. We delivered to 51 pupils across the day.

This programme will continue over the coming months in schools across Wales bringing experienced military veterans into schools to deliver health, well-being, and resilience sessions, focusing particularly on schools with a high number of Service children. Working closely with SSCE Cymru ensures that support reaches the right young people and communities where it can make the greatest impact.

A key element of the programme is empowering Service children themselves to become peer leaders within each school. By working alongside our trained veteran instructors and veteran volunteers, they will develop leadership skills, build confidence, and strengthen their sense of belonging within both school and Armed Forces communities.

We are also delighted to be collaborating with wider community partners, including regional Armed Forces groups and the Regional Engagement Team at 160 Brigade in Brecon, whose support will be invaluable in delivery and outreach.

Forces Fitness will lead on sourcing, training, and coordinating military veterans to ensure high quality sessions that support physical health, mental well-being and personal resilience across diverse educational settings.

This programme represents meaningful, community led support, strengthening connections, promoting well-being, and empowering military families across Wales.

Thank you to everyone involved for their continued collaboration and commitment to supporting our Armed Forces community. We look forward to seeing the positive impact this work will create in schools and communities across Wales.

Another great session working with Itec Skills Bridgend and the Asda Foundation through the Young Futures Fund!

We are delivering a Healthy Teen Minds: Health, Wellbeing and Positive Futures programme in Bridgend over the next 12 months, supporting young people aged 13–18.

During this session we covered, The six ways to well-being including healthy food choices whilst undertaking some fun team building challenges.

Well done to Jimmy, Callum, CJ and Trystan who came out with a new record Charity challenge time of 14mins 7scs. Truly amazing team work, communication and resilience shown by the group of boys.

This program enables us to provide a free to attend, structured programme designed to improve mental health, boost wellbeing and create brighter future opportunities for teenagers who may be facing barriers such as low confidence, social disengagement and limited access to training.

Thank you to everyone involved in making this possible, we’re excited to see the positive impact this will have on our Bridgend community and looking forward to the next session 💚
