Wales: SSCE Cymru - April - Month of the Military Child

 
Friday 26th of April is the day to 'Purple up' for Month of the Military Child!
  • Wear purple to work on Friday 26th April.
  • Take a photo of yourself (or with your colleagues) wearing purple in the office (or at your home).
  • Send your photos to SSCECymru@wlga.gov.uk.
  • Post your photo/s on social media (tag @SSCECyrmu on X and Facebook) using the hashtag #MotMCCymru – with a message to Service children, thanking them for their important role in the Armed Forces community.

Why purple?

Purple was chosen because it symbolizes all branches of the military, a combination of Army Green, Air Force Blue, Coast Guard Blue, Marine Red and Navy Blue.

Further information available here.

Diolch / Thank you
