Following on from my recent post about a new Forces & Me After School Club for (P1 - P7)......

I'm delighted to say we've had a good response, with lots of expressions of interest! 🎉

The club will hopefully be starting at the end of August.

Would your child be interested in a new Forces & Me After School Club? 💜

I’m exploring the possibility of starting a Forces & Me After School Club for P1 - P7 children from Armed Forces families (regular and reserve) - facilitated by The Exchange and Funded by The Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust.

The club would be a fun, friendly space where children can:
✨ Meet others from Armed Forces families
🤝 Build friendships
🎨 Take part in fun activities/crafts
💜 Feel supported and connected

🕞 Proposed time: 3:30pm after school
📅 Possible days: Wednesday or Thursday
📍 Possible venue: Central Helensburgh, Drumfork Club, Centre 81 Garelochhead

I'm looking for expressions of interest to help decide if there is enough demand.

👉 If your child/children would be interested, please complete the following expression of interest form https://forms.gle/V1s7nT5QwrVepL4m9

Registering your interest doesn't commit you to attending, it simply helps me plan the club.

Please share this post with any serving Armed Forces families who may be interested. 💜
