Scotty's Little Soldiers

Scotty’s Little Soldiers is a charity dedicated to supporting bereaved military children and young people.

Inspired by the experience of Army widow Nikki Scott, the charity honours husband Corporal Lee Scott’s memory – both as a loyal soldier and a loving father – and provides a practical yet personal way for the public at large to show their appreciation for those brave individuals who make the ultimate sacrifice in the service of their country.

At Scotty’s, we aim to provide relief from the effects of grief for bereaved military children and young people who have experienced the death of a parent who served in the British Forces.

The charity provides its beneficiaries with support and guidance throughout their childhood and offers a respite, however brief, from the daily ups and downs of coping with the loss of a parent.

Assistance is available to families from the British Army, Royal Navy or RAF and includes both Regular and Reserve forces. You can view our membership criteria here.

Scotty’s services are delivered through four family Programmes: SMILES, SUPPORT, STRIDES and SPRINGBOARD.

We want every bereaved British Forces child to have access to the very best emotional support, outstanding development opportunities and the chance to smile again
