Project 71 is a small support group for WW2 Veterans based on the South Coast. We are not a huge group, we do not have celebrities supporting us and we don't have thousand of pounds in the bank, but with the support of the public we have achieved so much. This is just a few of our achievements in the past few years.
- We hosted British and US Veterans and their families at Southwick House for the 80th anniversary of D Day.
- We arrange birthday parties and days out for our veterans
- We are now supplying mobility scooters and Alexas
- We have an annual reunion where they can bring their families to meet the team.
- We placed a bench on the banks of the Rijn and a plaque and bench at the Zig Canal in the Netherlands in memory of two of our veterans that were part of Operation Market Garden
- We have placed a plaque on UTAH Beach in Normandy in memory of the Royal Navy who took US troops across.
- We have sponsored over 50 name bricks on the Normandy Wall at the D Day Museum is Southsea for the Normandy Veterans
- All the above is achieved by sponsorship and donations to enable the veterans to have what they have described as the most wonderful "final chapter".
