Grants for WW2 battlefield visits
Following the popularity of the Heroes Return 2 funding programme, the Big Lottery Fund has extended the scheme’s travel date deadline to December 2012 in order to support Second World War veterans in Northern Ireland who have not yet been able to undertake a commemorative visit.
The application deadline for a Heroes Return 2 grant remains January 31, 2012 but veterans will now have until December 2012 to make their trips.
