In this the 75th Anniversary of D Day and Market Garden we are trying to raise much needed funds to return our veterans to the places that mean so much to them so they can pay their respects to those that did not return. For most this will be the very last time they will be able to make the journey to Europe. Our youngest is 93 and our oldest 99.

Here are just a few of our achievements of Project 71 in the past 3 years;

1. We have unblocked the system and got the Veterans Legion d'honneur awarded to them when they were seemingly lost in administration.
2. We arranged a dinner for the Veterans and their families at Southwick House on the 1st June for the 75th anniversary of D Day in 2019.
3. When one of our veterans needed to go on to oxygen at home we fixed his electrical problems so he would not have power cuts in the night.
4. We make home and hospital visits and do their shopping and gardening if they are alone.
5. We take the veterans away twice a year to Europe to the places that are important to them and to pay their respects to the fallen. This year we returned to Normandy in June with some of our veterans for the 75th anniversary of DDay.
6. We give them all a birthday cake.
7. We have an annual reunion where they can bring their families to meet the team.
8. In September we will be taking our veterans to Arnhem.

Project 71 is run by volunteers and is a strictly not for profit organisation. Every penny raised goes towards supporting our veterans.

On Sunday 13th October I will be taking part in a 10K race to help raise much needed funds, so please could I ask you to consider a small donation to help us support our veterans, its the least we can do. From Project 71, myself and our veterans, I thank you in advance for your kindness, support and generosity.
Thank You,
Wendy Wood.
