As #MonthOfTheMilitaryChild comes to a close, I'm re-sharing Sophia's story.

Sophia shared her experience of growing up in a military family and transitioning to civilian life to help bring my Community and Relationships report to life. She also spoke very powerfully at the launch of @forceschildrenscotland's Rights Charter for Forces Children on Purple-Up Day last week.

It's thanks to young people like Sophia and her peers – and their openness – that we can drive meaningful change.

Listen to Sophia reflect on life in a forces family in her own words.

An inspiring morning hearing the powerful words of young people from Serving and veteran families as @forceschildrenscotland launched its #ForcesChildrensRightsCharter - a meaningful way to mark #PurpleUpDay and #MonthOfTheMilitaryChild.

On #AnzacDay, we remember Australians and New Zealanders who have served - and all who made the ultimate sacrifice.

From Gallipoli to the present day, we honour their bravery and dedication to their country.

At an event hosted by the Association of Project Management attended by employers and Service Leavers considering Project Management as a career. Lots of insightful input and advice from veterans working in project management and the businesses who value their ex-Service employees.
