Creative Forces Day 2026 - Register your interest Survey

Thank you for your interest in our Creative Forces Day programme delivered by Anglia Ruskin University.

This event is aimed at Service Children (both past and present!) to explore their unique identity, recognise the skills they’ve developed due to their background, and apply these to their educational and career goals.

There will also be current students from similar backgrounds that you will meet throughout the day, showcasing relatable role models for Service Children.

The CFD programme specifically addresses common barriers faced by Service Children, providing practical advice and support.

Students will discover a true feeling for studying at university through academic workshops, student engagement and sessions from the Schools and Colleges Engagement Team, specifically aimed at those from a Military Family, in years 7-13.
