Supporting Children across North Yorkshire
Welcome
With over 3,000 Service children across 223 schools, North Yorkshire proudly holds one of the UK’s largest military-connected communities.
We’re here to champion every child—celebrating strengths, easing transitions, and offering practical support to families and professionals. From wellbeing workshops to network meetings and joyful events, we help Service children bloom wherever they’re planted.

Supporting Service Families
The Service Children’s Champion role was established in 2012 to provide dedicated support to Service children, their families, and the professionals who work with them. Through school events, wellbeing programmes, and advocacy, the Champion helps build community, raise awareness, and celebrate the unique strengths of life within the Armed Forces family.
