Heroes Return - Funding for Veterans of WW2
WWII Veterans Funding – programme extended until 31 January 2012
The Big Lottery Fund is committing over £1 million in extra good cause funding in the year ahead for the country’s WWII veterans, to make sure they can make their personal battlefront commemorative journeys to the places they saw action.
The additional funding for the scheme comes on the day the Fund is naming the 50,000th individual to benefit from the Heroes Return grant schemes.
The extra funding for the scheme will help ensure veterans still to apply are able to journey in the year ahead to revisit the scenes of WWII events, such as the forthcoming 70th anniversary of the Battle of Crete.
The current Heroes Return2 programme was scheduled to close in January but now remains open until 31st January 2012.
