Little Troopers is a registered charity supporting service children who have parent(s) serving in our British Armed Forces, regular or reserve.
These children often face unique challenges including frequent house and school moves, as well as regular periods of separation from their serving parent(s) for varying lengths of time due to exercises, training, operations and other service commitments.
The Harrogate Odeon cinema event is just one of many things that Little Troopers is doing to support military children in the Christmas period.
