Last month, Scotty’s Little Soldiers was able to offer 147 bereaved military families a much-needed respite break. While a holiday doesn’t make everything okay, we’ve seen first-hand how a change of scenery and some quality time together can have a positive impact during challenging times. Our seven holiday homes, located at Haven sites across the UK, are fully equipped with toys, games, home comforts, and 24-hour security—providing a safe haven for families to relax, share, and connect. It’s all about creating special moments and supporting our bereaved military families when they need it most. 💛 #ScottysLittleSoldiers #RespiteBreaks #MilitaryFamilies #SafeHaven #FamilyTime
