Please arrive 10mins early for signing in and safety brief etc.
Please bring a cash donation of £5 or £10 per adult and £1-£2 per child over 5.
Proceeds will go to my 2025 Military Charity over the Remembrance period - Models for Heroes (M4H) is the first charitable organisation in the UK to support the use of model making hobbies within former and current Armed Forces and Emergency Service Personnel in the United Kingdom.
Research into the use of crafts as an intervention activity report an increased level of happiness and social inclusion.
The physical dexterity required to build the model kits challenges and promotes development of fine motor skill and there are many more anecdotal benefits. See for more details - https://www.modelsforheroes.org.uk/about-us/
