We have a range of free resources to help you and your family. Some are free downloads and some are available by contacting us.
We have devised this helpful Income and Expenditure Tracker to help you keep track of your money.
This is particularly useful for our young people who are entering Higher Education, Apprenticeships or the world of work as they begin to manage their own money for the first time but if you are struggling with debt and finding it difficult to make ends meet you may find it helpful to use this and see what you are spending money on and where you can make savings.

We have teamed up with the Naval Families Federation to offer Wellbeing Packs for naval children and young people as well as their parents and carers. Building upon our previous Books for All offer, we’re now offering each family member a ‘pack’ of resources that can be tailored to them. No matter your age or situation, we’ve got something for you – including some of our very own creations!
Our wellbeing packs are free for families, and each contain 1 book, 1 resource and 1 additional extra. Families can tailor each pack to the child in question, meaning you can make the call on which materials best suit your individual circumstances.
Take a look at what’s available.
Life in a Naval family can be hard, with long periods of separation and dealing with deployment.
Particularly for younger children who can struggle to understand why mummy or daddy are away for so long.
Our specially commissioned books can help you talk to your child/children about this and help explain how they may be feeling and what they may be experiencing during these times. Henry is themed around mummy going away, Zoe is about daddy going away.
Free copies of these books are available as part of our Wellbeing pack for younger children.
To receive a free copy of our books please complete our Wellbeing Packs form
You can listen to the books now by clicking on them.
Being a child of somebody in the armed forces can have a huge impact on the way that we see the world.
A common theme amongst armed forces children is separation whether that be through deployments, weekending it or moving from place to place away from friends and family. This can often bring up a whole range of emotions and quite often these can be difficult to process. Working with Bear us in Mind, we have adapted their resources to guide adults through supporting children and teenagers to process these emotions they are experiencing.
Our worksheets are all accessible through our website to download for free, and we also have our Naval Children’s Charity bears which can be requested through our website.
These worksheets, activities and resources all have a purpose which are explained in the accompanying videos
for serving personnel to record a story for a child or a message for their loved ones to listen to whilst they are separated. This can be done on bases, ships or remotely across the world.
