GIVING BACK WHENEVER WE CAN

Launched in 2012, The Annington Challenge gives children of service families aged 10-19 the opportunity to tackle Outward Bound courses designed to help them improve self-confidence, resilience, and self-belief. To date over 500 military youngsters have benefitted from Annington's sponsorship.

Founded by an Army spouse and mother of four, Reading Force uses books as a way of making sure young children remain connected to loved ones who are deployed. The family read the same book, then use it as a conversation topic during weekly calls, conquering shyness and awkwardness among the children.

This amazing charity runs week-long family breaks for families with a child with an additional need or disability. It offers children a chance to play and grow, and families the opportunity to relax knowing their loved one is safe and enjoying themselves.

Building Heroes is the UK’s leading tri-service military-to-construction skills training provider. This award-winning charity’s training skills programme helps veterans and Service leavers transition seamlessly into the civilian workplace through training designed to lead to construction employment opportunities

Scotty’s Little Children is a UK charity solely dedicated to supporting bereaved children of British serving personnel, regardless of whether the death was as a result of active service, accident, or more frequently, suicide.

Annington supports RBLI's Lifeworks employability programme which works to provide vocational assessment and personal coaching to get veterans back to work

The King's Active Foundation exists to get children active, having fun and learning together.  Annington has partnered with them to run activity camps during the school summer holidays for children of army families.

We are proud to fund SCiP's research into the area of military children’s educational attainment. The results will inform the way educationalists, Local Authorities, military charities and the MoD consider the educational needs of the military child.
