A statement from Sean Molino BCA (Managing Director of Forces Fitness) 
“All our team are so pleased to see the smiles on the children’s faces whilst coming together, sharing stories and and meeting other service children in the area. The learners had so much fun during the sessions whilst learning some really valuable life lessons around health and well-being’ and it was great to see them working together to overcome challenges with huge smiles on their faces.’ It’s been a fantastic program to work on, huge thanks to our team of Instructors and delivery partners who continue to make memorable experiences for our future generation!
