A big thank-you to everyone who attended all our People's War events and contributed their stories - and a special thank you to our volunteer story-gatherers Suzanne and Simon. We have added over 100 stories to the People's War site.

Thanks also to Linda for setting the ball rolling before moving on to pastures new, to Hayley, Margaret and David from Lounge Union for their terrific display, and finally to The Big Lottery Fund, without whom none of this would have been possible.
