Hub Activity
Inspiring Choices, a Higher Education Outreach Partnership, is part of the Office for Students' Uni Connect Programme. They have successfully delivered impactful projects for Service children living in York and North Yorkshire. These initiatives include the Military Service Children Project, Armed Forces Day for Children, and a Military Service Children Residential. Read the article below to learn more about how Inspiring Choices is making a difference in the lives of Service children.
In early 2024, East Riding Council launched CPD workshops to help educators understand the impacts of military culture on Service children. Delivered in collaboration with York St John University and Ebor Academy Trust, these sessions provided valuable insights and practical tools for supporting Service children in schools and colleges. With highly positive feedback, this initiative is a key step in improving educational support for Service children.
