Announcement

We are so excited to have been awarded £80,000 funding from the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust for our Little Ducklings nursery in Lyneham! This fund will make a huge impact on our work with children and families in military service.
Our aims of the project are to:
* Improve outcomes for all service personnel children by providing a richly resourced, enabling outdoor environment.
* Provide high quality training for staff around a range of subjects to provide appropriate, knowledgeable, exceptional experiences for all service children and military families holistically.
Our vision.
We wanted a simple yet transformational outdoor area to be able to add to and develop depending on what our children show us they need.
We wanted an outdoor area that was accessible for all, in all weathers. We wanted to keep natural landscape as much as possible.
Over the past 6 months we have been working closely within the team to develop an outdoor area to fit all of this. 
With all that in mind, and with the help of the ex-forces led local company, The White Horse Building and Landscaping Company Limited, we hope to bring our vision to fruition.
Thank you so much to for your support @ukarmedforces #CommunityHeroes #ArmedForces #CovenantTrust #Children #LocalCharity #YMCA
