We have lots of events that we’d love you to get involved in, from the launch of our new podcast to the opening of a second round of funding from the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust.

Tommy’s History Mystery is designed to introduce students to the different men who fought in the war – from conscripted to colonial troops, underage fighters to those suffering from shell shock.

We have also worked with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission to create a class about about the creation of memorials and how families found their lost loved ones in the years after the war.

Schools are also eligible for the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust silhouette funding, if you wanted to host an installation alongside your classes.

St Mary Magdalene’s Church in South Bersted, Bognor Regis is hosting a There But Not There event, with 30 silhouettes that they have received via a grant and congregational sponsorship.

The congregation of St Mary Magdalene’s includes a team of researchers who have found information and pictures of the 104 men who are on the Roll of Honour. This information will form an exhibition to accompany the silhouettes and the display will be adorned with 300 handmade poppies and 100 white crosses, made by another team of helpers from the church.

The congregation are also making films, recording WWI poetry and creating a prayer corner as well as 104 named poppy pebbles – one for every man lost – which school groups will be invited to turn into a giant poppy on the chancel floor.

The church will be decorated and special candlelit sessions will be held. Doors will open to the public on 17th October – 11th November and all are welcome.
