The Ruby Boots Project is a peer support network aiming to support children and young people whose parent/guardian is leaving the armed forces. There are various challenges that young people may experience during this transition, so they have designed this project to tackle this. 

If you are a child or young person from a veteran/soon-to-be veteran family, or an adult who would be interested in volunteering to help facilitate these group sessions, please get in touch at heather.douglas@forceschildrenscotland.org.uk. 

We would love to hear from you.
