Dandelion Project
Moray’s Dandelion Project is beginning to launch and is asking armed forces families in the area to complete a new survey to help to understand their lived experiences.
The project is inviting armed forces families with children in primary or secondary education in Moray to take part. The survey is for you, your friends or family with a connection to the HM Armed Forces in Moray.
About the Project:
It is funded for three years through a £370,000 grant from the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust. The initiative is in partnership with RAF Lossiemouth, 39 Engineer Regiment and Moray Council, to support armed forces children in primary and secondary education from regular, reserve and veteran families.
The impact service life can have on children is well-documented through academic research and local lived experience. To ensure the armed forces children in Moray are supported to thrive in education, the project aims to:
- ensure all armed forces children have the right conditions and environment in their school to thrive, no matter what challenges arise as a result of their serving parent’s military commitment.
- create a long-lasting legacy for families who are navigating the twists and turns of military life in Moray.
- make transition and support during deployments easier and more effective.
- help those supporting and working with children from armed forces families to better understand the needs and how to remove barriers to learning.
- champion the achievements of armed forces children and to raise awareness and understanding about armed forces life.
The project is asking families to share their experiences of living in Moray, to help The Dandelion Project make a difference.
Your voice matters, have your say.
