A FABULOUS WEEKEND CELEBRATING AND COMMEMORATING THE 1940s
Welcome to the new Haworth 1940s website for 2013. We are hoping that this years event will be our biggest and our most successful. Lots of events and attractions have already been finalised and we will add information to our events page for all others as they are confirmed.
As many of you know , the Haworth 1940s weekend is now a charitable event and all profits go to a nominated charity each year. Last year we raised and incredible £12,000 for ‘Help for Heroes’. This year we have our nominated charity is SSAFA, the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Families Association.
We need
good people to help marshal the event - in aid of SSAFA. If you can donate some of your time on 18th-19th May please get in touch. Lunch provided.
This is a national charity for those who serve in our armed forces, those who used to serve, and the families. Each year, their trained staff and network of 7,500 volunteers provide practical support and assistance to more than 50,000 people, from D-Day veterans to young soldiers wounded in Afghanistan.
