About Scotty’s Nine months after Nikki’s husband Lee had been killed in Afghanistan some family members took her and the children away on holiday. Watching her son Kai playing in the swimming pool she realised then it was the first time she had seen him smile since his Dad’s death.

She wondered how many other children had lost a parent serving in the British Armed Forces but hadn’t had that opportunity to smile again.

Nikki set about starting Scotty’s Little Soldiers in Lee’s memory and began providing support to bereaved Forces children.

Today Scotty’s is actively working with over 330 children and young people through 3 key Assistance Programmes: SMILES, SUPPORT & STRIDES. Across these programmes beneficiaries have access to family holiday breaks, group events, special experiences, bereavement counselling, educational and development grants and a host of other support activities.
