As a former serving British Army soldier, Stephen has experienced the loss of friends during service and beyond, making the charity\u2019s work particularly meaningful.<\/p>\n<p>Operations Support Manager <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/jayne-reeves-277a32aa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jayne Reeves<\/a> shares a similar connection. Through her links to the <a href=\"https:\/\/ocs.com\/uk\/esg-partners\/armed-forces-covenant\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Armed Forces community<\/a>, she has seen the impact that loss can have on military families and understands the need to ensure children receive the support they need. Alongside this, she has spent the past four years undergoing treatment for cancer and has experienced first-hand the difference charities can make during difficult times.<\/p>\n<p>Together, their experiences reflect a wider theme across the team. The challenge was not only to raise funds, but also to support organisations that provide hope and practical help to those who need it most.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n    <section id=\"block_acf-block-6a2fe9e58fb57\" data-animate-container=\"waterfall\"  class=\"px-4 py-8 md:px-8 relative overflow-hidden rounded-3xl\" style=\"background-color: #FEFAF9 ;\">\n        <svg class=\"text-[#E34E21] absolute -top-[31px] -right-[52px] w-[280px] h-[280px] md:-top-[35px] md:-right-[68px]\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 345 348\" preserveAspectRatio=\"none\">\n            <g fill=\"currentColor\" opacity=\".1\">\n                <path d=\"M37.763 65.46 64.38 38.674a173.12 173.12 0 0 1 21.277-14.72L23.135 86.87a174.285 174.285 0 0 1 14.628-21.41ZM4.894 131.987c.777-3.131 1.639-6.228 2.582-9.289l113.785-114.5a170.68 170.68 0 0 1 9.231-2.6L4.894 131.987ZM.068 163.603c.147-2.442.344-4.87.59-7.284L154.672 1.336c2.399-.248 4.812-.446 7.239-.594L.068 163.603ZM.444 189.985A176.37 176.37 0 0 1 0 183.742L181.924.674a173.1 173.1 0 0 1 6.204.447L.444 189.985ZM4.071 213.09c-.415-1.83-.8-3.672-1.158-5.524L205.6 3.606c1.841.359 3.671.747 5.49 1.165L4.071 213.09ZM10.127 233.758a173.1 173.1 0 0 1-1.713-4.967L226.692 9.141c1.656.55 3.301 1.125 4.935 1.723l-221.5 222.894ZM18.155 252.44a173.983 173.983 0 0 1-2.175-4.502L245.72 16.755a171.56 171.56 0 0 1 4.473 2.188L18.155 252.44ZM27.888 269.407a175.49 175.49 0 0 1-2.583-4.091L262.988 26.139c1.368.847 2.723 1.714 4.065 2.599L27.888 269.407ZM39.168 284.817a173.977 173.977 0 0 1-2.96-3.712L278.679 37.11c1.244.976 2.474 1.969 3.689 2.978l-243.2 244.729ZM51.912 298.754a174.74 174.74 0 0 1-3.32-3.348L292.89 49.571a174.152 174.152 0 0 1 3.327 3.342L51.912 298.754ZM66.1 311.237a174.123 174.123 0 0 1-3.684-2.984l243.241-244.77a174.342 174.342 0 0 1 2.965 3.706L66.099 311.237ZM81.765 322.234a172.453 172.453 0 0 1-4.059-2.605l239.255-240.76c.882 1.348 1.745 2.71 2.59 4.084L81.765 322.234ZM99.006 331.645c-1.501-.711-2.99-1.443-4.466-2.196L326.72 95.808a172.535 172.535 0 0 1 2.182 4.494L99.006 331.645ZM118.002 339.29a172.923 172.923 0 0 1-4.927-1.732L334.779 114.46a173.589 173.589 0 0 1 1.72 4.958L118.002 339.29ZM139.057 344.863a171.346 171.346 0 0 1-5.48-1.176L340.87 135.091c.418 1.828.807 3.666 1.168 5.515L139.057 344.863ZM162.689 347.844a172.903 172.903 0 0 1-6.19-.461l188.043-189.226c.189 2.066.342 4.143.458 6.229L162.689 347.844ZM189.868 347.253c-2.391.241-4.797.432-7.216.572l162.33-163.351a175.2 175.2 0 0 1-.569 7.262L189.868 347.253ZM223.135 340.537a170.58 170.58 0 0 1-9.181 2.549l126.318-127.112a173.708 173.708 0 0 1-2.533 9.239L223.135 340.537ZM278.57 311.515a173.062 173.062 0 0 1-20.231 13.668l64.142-64.545a174.297 174.297 0 0 1-13.583 20.358l-30.328 30.519Z\" \/>\n            <\/g>\n        <\/svg>\n                <div data-animate-container=\"text\"  class=\"relative grid gap-8 md:gap-6\">\n                            <p data-animate=\"prose\"  class=\"text-ocs-gray-nav text-[26px] md:text-[22px] font-medium leading-[34px] md:leading-[30px] -tracking-[0.5px] text-crop\">\n                    \u201cScotty&#8217;s Little Soldiers provides incredible support to bereaved military children and their families, helping them navigate some of the most challenging times in their lives.
