Thank you again to the Centre for Evidence for the Armed Forces Community (formally the FiMT Research Centre) for my award and for your continued work in "putting evidence at the heart of decision making to enable a thriving Armed Forces community". 3/3

The works were created by these three service children in response to the question 'What does being a service child mean to you?', as part of my doctoral research. You can find my full thesis and a 3-page executive summary via my LinkTree: lnkd.in/efhKPSD3 3/3

To acknowledge this day, and the wider month of April, I'm sharing two poems written by Louise* and Sarah* and a drawing by Myles*.
