Wight Forces is dedicated to supporting service leavers transitioning to civilian life, building a local network for military families, hosting events that honour military occasions, and providing connection and celebration for military children living on the Isle of Wight.
Wight Forces was founded by Mandy and Sarah, two colleagues turned close friends who came together with a shared passion to support the Isle of Wight’s Armed Forces community through personal experience, compassion, and a drive to make a difference.
Regrettably this event has had to be postponed due to lack of uptake. Please keep your eye out for future events for military children, and sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused
