Month of the Military Child Competition

In preparation for Month of the Military Child in April we are launching a fun-filled Children’s Competition to celebrate this important occasion and get creative. This is aimed at children in our Armed Forces/ Veteran communities, young patients in the Trust, and children of Team QEH staff.

The theme for this competition is ‘Armed Forces Superheroes’. We would like children to use this theme and show us any special ideas or memories, in the form of a poem or picture. The competition is now open, and the winner will receive a prize, kindly donated by our local Armed Forces charity, The Bridge for Heroes.

The competition is open until Wednesday 25 March 2026.
