Welcome to A War Widow’s Story, a short film by Scotty's Little Soldiers, featuring military wife and charity founder, Nikki Scott, as you have never seen her before. Nikki shares what it was like to live among the Royal Tank Regiment, her introduction to military life, and about the moment she was told her husband, Corporal Lee Scott, had been killed by an IED in Afghanistan. She describes how her darkest moments exposed her to the suffering of military families grieving for their fallen heroes, and how it inspired her to start the Armed Forces charity, Scotty’s Little Soldiers, in Lee’s memory.
Hundreds of bereaved military children aren’t getting the support they need. Scotty’s Little Soldiers is calling on you to pledge your support for the children of our heroes. In 2023, we provided bereavement support for 650+ military children and young people, but we are on a mission to be supporting 1,000 bereaved British Forces children annually by 2030. There’s one thing you can do to make a difference right now – and it’s completely FREE! Thousands have already registered their support for our mission, will you?
