What the charity does

We are committed to a commemorative sculpture in memory of the 10th Battalion The Parachute Regiment and their 'best of times during the worst of times' spent in Leicestershire during 1944. We are also committed to raise funds to perpetuate the annual Somerby Commemoration. We also wish to help inform and educate the local (especially young) people of those world changing events.
