Alex’s dad was in the Royal Navy so like many serviceman he spent a lot of time away when she was growing up.
The impact of having a parent in the armed forces and not being able to see or speak to them regularly is something Alex thinks needs more awareness about.
Alex is now an apprentice at the charity Home-Start UK and has shared her experiences to help support other service children cope with their parents being away.
