At Remembrance, the whole country stops to remember and honour the heroes of our Armed Forces and all who served. At Scotty’s, we understand that although it’s a time of year that you might feel proud, it can also be very difficult.
Here you will find information about the different support that Scotty's can offer over the Remembrance period. Please don't be afraid to reach out if you need extra support, use the contact form at the bottom of the page.
Online Drop In Sessions: Nearer the time, we will share details about our online drop-in session. This is a chance for you to come on screen and chat to some of the team but also to other Members and Springboarders who may be finding the time of year a little tough. Keep a look out on this page, nearer the time for more details.
Have a meal on us: As we get closer to Remembrance, Scotty's will send you a gift voucher so you can go out and have a bite to eat on us. Invite some friends or family along and have a meal. It's good to be together during these extra tough times of year. Make sure we have your current address so the voucher reaches you ok.
Resources to use in your education Setting: Further down on this page, you will see different resources that you can print off. If you can't print them off, let us know and we will send you some out by post.
Get in touch: Remember if we need us, we are here. Just get in touch if you feel you need to ask for some guidance or want to talk to someone.
Every year, Scotty's brings a group of 100 to London to mark Remembrance. Scotty's apply for grants so that we can cover your travel and hotel accommodation.
The weekend includes an afternoon at the Royal Albert Hall to watch the BBC's Festival of Remembrance, with time for yourselves in the evening. On the Sunday morning we head to Horse Guards Parade Square in Poppy Cabs and we march with pride, side by side in the National Remembrance Parade on Whitehall before heading back to the hotel for a group lunch. It's the perfect weekend to create special friendships and be with others who truly understand.
It is an emotional weekend but a very inspiring one.

Scotty’s have created this animation to help explain how the death of a military parent can impact bereaved British Forces children and young people, and particularly around Remembrance. Both animation was funded by The Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust as a tool for educating everyone about the challenges you often face.
